Ai Everything Global 2025, held at the Dubai World Trade Centre in collaboration with GITEX GLOBAL, showcased how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the healthcare and genomics sectors, driving efficiencies and revolutionizing patient care. The event highlighted AI’s potential in addressing key challenges in genomics, such as predicting hidden patterns in complex data sets, which enables more precise diagnoses and treatments.
AI is rapidly shifting healthcare from reactive treatments to proactive early detection, as explained by Paul Jones, CEO of BioPharma Solutions, AI Life Sciences at M42. He emphasized the importance of uncovering the remaining 99% of genomics data, stating that AI plays a crucial role in early detection and prevention, reshaping health and care systems. Prof. Alireza Haghighi, Chief Executive of the Harvard Medical School International Center for Genetic Disease, also shared his insights, pointing to AI’s power in predictive capabilities and its role in informing policy and data-driven decision-making in genomics.
The UAE’s Emirati Genome Programme, which recently achieved the collection of 500,000 genetic samples, is pioneering personalized healthcare solutions tailored to the Emirati population. Prof. Haghighi highlighted that global collaboration is essential in addressing healthcare gaps, noting that 4.5 billion people still lack access to essential services. He stressed the need for data exchange across healthcare systems to accelerate breakthroughs in genomics, improve treatments, and ensure health advancements are accessible worldwide.
In addition to advancements in genomics, Ai Everything Global also showcased groundbreaking innovations in medical robotics, including spider-inspired microrobots designed to extract dead or infected cells with precision. This AI-powered solution could revolutionize surgical practices, offering a sustainable, minimally invasive alternative to traditional tools while minimizing tissue damage and reducing recovery time. Dr. Hemachandran Kannan from Woxsen University explained how integrating AI-driven control systems with bioengineered structures enhances the precision of robotic-assisted surgeries, setting the stage for future AI-driven medical advancements.
The global AI healthcare market is expected to reach USD $164 billion by 2030, emphasizing AI’s growing role in transforming patient care and healthcare operations. Ai Everything Global continues to serve as a platform for global conversations on AI and digital health, bringing together tech enterprises, pioneering startups, and government officials to shape the future of healthcare. Following this momentum, the GITEX DIGI_HEALTH 5.0 Expo-Summit in Thailand (September 2025) and GITEX GLOBAL in the UAE (October 2025) will further explore advancements in AI and digital health, accelerating the global transformation in these sectors.
Looking ahead to 2026, Ai Everything Global will return to Abu Dhabi, strengthening the UAE’s position as a leader in AI innovation. The event will continue to drive global collaboration and serve as a cornerstone for the international AI community.
