  The United Arab Emirates is investing in autonomous and artificial intelligence systems to boost energy efficiency. These new technologies will help optimize operations and reduce costs across various sectors in the country.  One area that will greatly benefit is the energy industry.

This allows precious resources like oil and natural gas to be utilized more sustainably. Power generation and distribution can become cleaner and more reliable through the use of self-learning machines. Other infrastructure like desalination plants, buildings and transportation will also adopt autonomous systems. AI assistants can control machinery, lighting and air conditioning based on real-time data.
