“AI is not your email tool. AI is your personal assistant. Each and every one of you now is a CEO of your own small company, and you have an assistant that does all the stuff for you.”

On this episode of HYPERSCALE, Briar Prestidge is joined by Alaa Dalghan, a computer engineer and founder of Cognit DX, whose career has spanned smart homes, smart buildings, and smart cities.

Alaa explains why most people still use AI like an “email tool,” then introduces Layla, his voice-enabled AI assistant, and shows how voice (and even vision) can change the way we work and live.

We also unpack the surprising shift in how people use AI, why companionship has become a leading use case, along with the risks that come with it.

Finally, we talk about the “middle ground” between regulation and innovation, and why Alaa believes the UAE has the ingredients to become the next Silicon Valley—if it can continue attracting and building talent.
