RIYADH: As artificial intelligence becomes more prevalent in daily life, talks in Riyadh are changing from what the technology can accomplish to how it should be developed and used, with well-being, cultural diversity, and human connection emerging as critical ethical concerns.
At LEAP and UNESCO’s AI Ethics Forum, technology executives, policymakers, and ethicists discussed the challenges of AI’s rapid development, including long-term user engagement, emotional dependence, and the representation of many cultures and languages.
At the recently concluded LEAP, Hani Chihabi, CEO and co-founder of Thaura.ai, argued that smaller AI platforms created around differentiation from larger firms can place a greater emphasis on engagement, cultural diversity, and mental wellness.
Speaking with Arab News, Chihabi emphasised a major premise underpinning Thaura.ai: “It should serve us, not the other way around.” Thaura.ai, founded by Hani Chihabi and his brother Said Chihabi, aims to be an ethical alternative to conventional AI platforms. Instead of building its own massive language models from scratch, the company uses existing open-source models.
