From bioengineering and gene editing to cybersecurity, 5G networks and much more .. The future was the star of the 40th Gulf Information Technology Exhibition, which Dubai hosted from the sixth to the tenth of December.
This exhibition, which was held at the Dubai World Trade Center, is the largest and only technological event held during this year, with the presence of more than 1,200 participants represented by project companies and emerging companies from 60 countries, amid strict precautionary measures to confront the Corona virus.
These measures imposed by the authorities were based on the principle of social distancing to protect visitors from the risks of contracting the deadly virus, measuring temperatures and the obligation of all attendees to wear protective masks.
The ruler of Dubai, the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, affirmed that "GITEX will be the most important realistic global technology event in 2020."
He wrote in a tweet posted on his official Twitter page, "GITEX will be the most important realistic global technical event in 2020 and the UAE will be the fastest country to recover in the world, and our institutions have proven their ability to adapt. We will conclude 2020 with a global event and we will start 2021 with a series of major projects and initiatives, 2021 our fiftieth year and our jubilee." Golden and it will be different for all years, God willing. "
Robots had a remarkable presence during the exhibition.
Some internationally known experts in the field of cybersecurity were also present during this mega event.
Among them is the famous inventor and entrepreneur Pablos Holman, who helped build spaceships, invented a machine to stop hurricanes and developed cryptocurrencies dating back to the 1990s.
"The economic value lies in the companies and their computers. It is the battlefield of the future. We live in a world facing a major economic war in the field of digital security and cyber warfare. I don't want to scare you; I'm just describing a reality," Holman said in an interview with Euronews. Get into the game. "
Hacker Brian Sealy also had a prominent presence, who said in an intervention to "Euronews", that "if the number of people who are obligated to the house increases, and they do not know how to obtain financial income, be it legal or not. From here the fraudsters moved to another level." From crime and they have become more sophisticated, social engineering, electronic deception, targeting users to steal them, all of these practices have increased in frequency. Ransomware, for example, is on the rise and it is difficult today to defend a company that has offices everywhere and everyone works with VPNs. Interaction and communication are less. Much earlier than before, the central administration has retreated because there is no longer anyone central. We call it the border. So the company’s borders have almost faded away. ”

Healthcare
The spread of the Coronavirus has led to the adoption of new technologies, and innovations in healthcare in particular have been the focus of intense attention at GITEX this year.
"There has been a noticeable rise in telemedicine services," said Shamim Naboma Klelsa, CEO of Shell Al Lab Group. "Previously, people used to go to hospitals and make an appointment with doctors to check on them. But now, they are not leaving their place. There were total lockdown measures. The technology has been adopted to some extent. The situation has really changed and people are starting to adapt to this new reality," she said. .
"So it is a technological solution to care for health at home, which is a data-organizing platform that extracts information from various sensors in the home and then integrates with some of our most innovative solutions, such as telemedicine," said Prateek Sardana, who works at Etisalat.
Sardana added, "This is, for example, a device for measuring glucose. It captures the blood sugar level and then transmits the percentage immediately to the dashboard. This is a device for measuring pulse, oxygenation and oxygen saturation in the blood and has great importance in a circumstance such as a Covid envelope. In the end the data is combined with the affiliated electronic medical records system." For the hospital. "
And he added, "Here the response speed appears. Look, if the doctor notices an irregular heartbeat in a particular patient, he calls him to set an appointment for him or he may send an ambulance to him."
Some innovations have the potential to save lives, but others should not fall into the wrong hands.
“What concerns it is the human capacity to make decisions. Clear? We decide what we should care about, what world we want to build and how we use these technologies to help us build this future. So we must be clear about our values. What they are,” Pablos Holman asserts. The things we care about - which world are we looking to create and what technologies can help us reach it? ”
