The Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO) announces the launch of its Generative AI Center of Excellence initiative at the Global GAIN Summit in Riyadh this week.
According to the DCO, this initiative is designed to transform the role of DCO Member States to become key innovators in the global GenAI arena by fostering collaboration, and promoting sustainable and inclusive growth.
In a statement about the initiative, the DCO Secretary-General Ms. Deemah AlYahya says that the Center will provide a platform to encourage the creation of future GenAI leaders.
“This is a groundbreaking initiative spearheaded by the Digital Cooperation Organization and championed by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The DCO is taking bold steps to maximizing the value of multilateral cooperation and seize the opportunities of the GenAi era. The GenAI Center of Excellence provides the platform that will enable DCO Member States to produce GenAI solutions. At the heart of this initiative is a multilateral framework that ensures access and fosters collaboration among DCO Member States, supporting their transition from consumers of GenAI technology to active producers. This approach paves the way for DCO Member States to become global leaders in GenAI innovation and hubs of intellectual property,” says AlYahya.
According to AlYahya, key benefits of the GenAI CoE initiative include the promotion of collaboration among the private and public sector as well as academia, ensuring all member states can participate in the GenAI revolution.
“We aim for Member States to become creators of GenAI solutions, building local capacity, increasing intellectual property and driving innovation. Through the GenAI Center of Excellence, the DCO is shaping an inclusive future for AI, where no country is left behind, and every nation is positioned to lead in the global AI landscape,” says AlYahya.
