Ministry of Finance in collaboration with MAD Talks organised three innovation debates held at the Johara Ballroom in Madinat Jumeirah Dubai on 26th March 2018.

In Debate 2 the proposition was ‘To AI or not to AI, That’s the final question! The promise and the perils’. Dr Noah Raford, futurist in chief of Dubai Future Foundation was for AI and the advantages it will bring to society. Opposing Dr Noah Raford, was James Barrat, an author, film maker and expert on AI as he emphasised the dangers of AI taking over humanity and the job issues due to this society will face in the future. The debate was led and curated by Tariq Qureishy, Founder & CEO of MAD Talks.
