Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) has organised a dynamic symposium titled "The Impact of AI on Strategic Business Leadership in the Future," as part of the Strategic Business Leadership Programme, aimed at bolstering the capabilities of human resources in both the public and private sectors.

The seminar, hosted by the SCCI’s Sharjah Training & Development Center, aimed to equip attendees with the knowledge to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) for enhancing organisational systems and securing a competitive advantage for both governmental and private entities.

Held at the Chamber's headquarters, the gathering was attended by HE Mohammed Hilal, Member of SCCI Board of Directors; HE Mohammed Ahmed Amin Al Awadi, Director General of SCCI; Maryam Saif Al Shamsi, Assistant Director General of the Sharjah Chamber for Logistics; AbdulAziz Shattaf, Assistant Director General for Communication and Business Sector; Jamal Saeed Bouzanjal, Director of the Corporate Communication Department at the Chamber, as well as several employees from the Sharjah Chamber and government entities.

Led by Professor Sameh Al Namaki, a distinguished international expert in developing AI-based strategies, the symposium covered two primary themes. These explored the profound influence of artificial intelligence on business management and delved into the strategic challenges and prospects that businesses will encounter in the future.

Maryam Saif Al Shamsi emphasised that the timing of this symposium is strategically aligned with the World Government Summit, focusing on the digital future and the pivotal role of governments in leveraging technological advancements.
