?Mohammed Amin…Transformative Tech in 2025: Is the Test and Learn Phase Starting to Pay Off

Posted on يناير 12, 2025 by Fatma abdelhamed

?Transformative Tech in 2025: Is the Test and Learn Phase Starting to Pay Off

Mohammed Amin, Senior Vice President, CEEMETA, Dell Technologies

,No longer a mere buzzword, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as the cornerstone of the region’s transformative journey. In 2024

.businesses explored and experimented with GenAI tools, positioning AI as a central driver of operations

.The following 12 months promise an era of accelerated digital transformation fuelled by cutting-edge technologies

.From AI-powered PCs to next-generation data center innovations, here’s how business leaders can stay ahead of what’s coming

AI to Deliver Real Business Value

2025 is set to be the year AI shifts from exploration to execution. According to McKinsey, GenAI usage has doubled in just 10 months, where businesses in these stages are learning, testing and gaining insights into what AI can achieve.

For many, the test and learn phase is starting to pay off. Over the next year, enterprises will continue to see real ROI as they scale AI. A Strategy& report estimates that GenAI could contribute up to $23.5 billion annually to the Middle East’s economy by 2030.

,Media and entertainment are projected to lead this impact with $8.5 billion, followed by healthcare at $3.8 billion, banking and financial services at $3.5 billion

and IT and telecommunications at $2.9 billion. For the region’s media, healthcare and finance industries, the time has come to move from pilot projects to scaled solutions.

.The focus should shift to developing tailored, scalable AI applications that solve current challenges while also positioning companies for future opportunities

What this means: If your AI strategy isn’t clearly defined yet, make it your top priority in 2025. Tools are maturing at an incredible pace, and businesses that fail to adapt risk falling behind.

Introducing AI PCs: The Future of Work in Your Hands

Imagine starting your day with a PC that’s already handled the basics – drafted follow-ups, organized your to-do list, or summarized your emails while you were still making coffee. Welcome to 2025, where AI PCs bring this level of convenience to life.
These PCs are set to revolutionize how work gets done. Equipped with embedded AI capabilities, they can process data locally, resulting in faster performance, enhanced security and cost efficiency.

This is particularly beneficial for regional businesses balancing distributed teams and hybrid work environments. The importance of the edge – where data is created and consumed – is also growing. AI PCs are redefining productivity by shifting work closer to where it happens. Between higher performing CPUs, GPUs and NPUs and more PC silicon options in the market than ever before, the choice and innovation will be the best it’s ever been.
What this means: For industries evolving at breakneck speed, having smarter devices is no longer optional – it’s essential. If you’re holding onto older hardware, now may be the time to make the leap.

Rethinking the Data Center for an AI-driven World

AI is advancing faster than any technology in recent memory. In a recent analyst discussion, we found that by 2025, the overwhelming majority of AI processing (up to 70-90 percent) will focus on inferencing – using AI to make real-time decisions. This shift isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a demand for entirely new approaches to data infrastructure.

It’s why traditional siloed data centers are being replaced by “disaggregated architectures,” which allow computing, storage, and networking systems to scale independently. This provides businesses with faster, more flexible operations without being locked into specific vendor solutions, a crucial step forward for companies aiming for efficiency and agility.

Furthermore, the rising cost of energy and the environmental impact of AI workloads on regional data centers present additional challenges. To meet this demand, businesses must adopt energy-efficient hardware and diversified energy sources.
Liquid cooling innovation is a perfect example. In our liquid-cooled compute solutions, you’ll see optimized cold plates and leak detection technology for unmatched reliability and efficiency.

Additionally, workload management and monitoring tools are essential for optimizing performance, reducing costs, and ensuring AI solutions meet specific organizational needs.
What this means: Reassess your data center strategies now to ensure they can support the scalability, flexibility, and energy efficiency required by AI-driven workloads.

Evolving with AI Agents

2025 will also mark the rise of AI agents, which go far beyond chatbots or virtual assistants. AI agents are software systems that can plan,

.make decisions and take action to achieve pre-defined goals. They will be everywhere next year and will have a big impact on how we use AI

Unlike reactive systems of the past, AI agents are evolving into proactive tools capable of managing complex workflows. From resolving intricate customer service queries to tailoring real-time marketing campaigns, AI agents will enable businesses to push boundaries.

Gartner forecasts that by 2028, one-third of generative AI interactions will be handled by these agents.

What this means: Instead of managing people alone, professionals across industries will increasingly manage AI agents. It’s a move toward more dynamic, personalized, and creative work environments.

AI Becomes a Universal Skill

.Recent surveys reveal that 72% of IT leaders identify AI skills as a critical gap requiring immediate attention

,AI will become a cornerstone of every business, further refining collaboration between humans and machines. Routine, task-oriented roles may diminish

.and new opportunities, such as software composers, AI content editors and prompt engineers will gain prominence

.It will empower leaders to explore new roles, innovate, and lead in a competitive business landscape

What this means: Companies must prioritize upskilling their employees to build AI proficiency. Businesses equipped with AI can redefine how tasks are completed, unlocking new growth frontiers.

A Checklist for Business Leaders in 2025

Commit to AI: Develop a comprehensive AI strategy. Test new applications, learn from initial challenges, and scale successful solutions quickly.
Upgrade Your Tech Stack: From AI-powered PCs to modernized data centers, ensure your infrastructure aligns with your ambitions.
Lead on Sustainability: Adopt energy-efficient technologies to position your brand as an environmentally responsible leader.
Equip Your Teams: Empower employees with tools like AI agents that free them from repetitive tasks and unlock their strategic potential.
The businesses that thrive in 2025 will be those that approach these changes with clarity, agility and purpose. For the region’s vibrant tech ecosystem, the year ahead promises transformational growth. Are you ready to lead the way?

Samsung Expands ‘AI for All’ Vision at CES 2025 To Bring AI Everyday

Posted on يناير 8, 2025 by Fatma abdelhamed

Cairo – Jan. 8, 2025 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today unveiled its new “AI for All” vision at CES® 2025, with the focus of making AI an “Everyday, Everywhere” experience.

,Building on a decade of connected home leadership, Samsung is leveraging the power of AI to bring intelligence to every day

enabling people to experience a more personal, impactful and empowering world.

Jong-Hee (JH) Han, Vice Chairman, CEO and Head of Samsung’s Device eXperience (DX) Division, opened Samsung’s CES 2025 press conference by introducing the company’s roadmap for Home AI,

a plan for redefining the meaning of home by providing truly personalized services across all intelligent, connected devices. This strategy,

alongside Samsung’s innovations in AI-powered devices across mobile, home appliances and visual display, is a testament to Samsung’s longstanding commitment to human-centric innovation and brings the power of AI to everyday experiences to make life better for all.

“I’m proud of how we have introduced new technologies and intelligence to the home, connected key devices and set the standard for the home of the future,”

Vice Chairman Han said. “This year at CES, we are reinforcing our commitment to delivering personalized experiences through our widespread implementation

of AI and we will continue this journey of AI leadership in the home and beyond, not just for the next decade, but for the next century.”

Elevating Everyday Experiences With Home AI

Later in the press conference, Jonathan Gabrio, Head of the Connected Experience Center at Samsung Electronics America,

expanded on Samsung’s Home AI vision, underscoring the company’s commitment to integrating AI across the entire connected experience to cater to diverse lifestyles. From single person households to multi-generational families under one roof, Home AI learns from habits and adapts to individual routines for a hyper-personalized smart home experience.

Security and Privacy are at the heart of Samsung’s strategy for Home AI. Samsung recognizes that as users introduce more connected devices into their homes and AI becomes more personal, it must also protect users’ privacy. To meet these evolving needs, the company has extended its security capabilities. Now, Samsung Knox Matrix protects home appliances along with mobile devices and TVs with its signature blockchain technology, ensuring that connected devices are working together to protect the user’s home, data and each other from digital threats. With Knox Matrix Dashboard, a transparent privacy control, Samsung offers simplified security management across the entire connected home. As information syncs across devices, Knox Matrix’s Credential Sync ensures that data can only be encrypted or decrypted from the user’s devices, and Samsung Knox Vault adds another layer of protection, keeping sensitive information like passwords or PINs isolated in a secure location.

Samsung

Samsung’s One UI provides an integrated software experience across all connected Samsung devices, enhancing interoperability, empowering users with AI-based features and providing software updates for up to seven years.

Underpinning it all is SmartThings, Samsung’s smart home platform that brings intelligent connectivity to hundreds of millions of users around the world. With Samsung’s belief in open innovation and partnership as a foundation, SmartThings is being equipped with the latest AI technology to streamline and personalize the smart home experience for complete convenience. SmartThings Ambient Sensing intuitively understands the user’s environment and situational context by analyzing even human movements and ambient sounds through connected devices within the home, thereby enabling those devices to intelligently and seamlessly respond and adapt to daily routines.

Bixby Voice, an enhanced AI voice assistant, will be integrated to increase usability. The assistant has been trained so that it can recognize individual voices and respond to commands in a way that works best for each user.

Another way SmartThings simplifies everyday life is with Flex Connect, Samsung’s energy demand response program which incentivizes customers to enroll their devices with SmartThings and use SmartThings Energy. Users can decrease strain on local electricity grids and receive rewards in the form of Samsung Rewards points. In 2025, the program will be expanded from New York and California to select regions in Texas, helping address critical grid needs in the state.

These Home AI updates free up time previously spent on home management, allowing users to focus on what matters most and explore new passions. Samsung’s new Galaxy Book5 Pro and Galaxy Book5 360 are AI PCs built to boost productivity with Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2) and enhance creativity with features like AI Select and Samsung Studio. AI Select works to make browsing a breeze, while Samsung Studio lets users edit across their Galaxy smartphone, tablet or PC wherever inspiration strikes, at home or on the go. Powered by the NPU, Photo Remaster upscales low-resolution photos into high-quality visuals, while Storage Share lets users directly access the files on their smartphone from their PC, avoiding the process of downloading.

With productivity comes proactivity, too. When AI and Samsung Health combine, users are empowered to take control of their health and wellness. With AI-driven health insights gathered on the Galaxy Ring and Galaxy Watch, Samsung is helping users make sense of their data and arrive at more informed decisions about their well-being. These new capabilities will further improve the overall experience of Samsung Health, which stands apart as an end-to-end health solution that integrates the entire home seamlessly.

Seamless Entertainment in the AI Era

Samsung’s latest screen experiences, powered by Samsung Vision AI, bring unexpected joy to users’ days through unparalleled personalization and exciting new features. The AI Screen experience infuses intelligence into TVs, bringing Generative Wallpaper, Live Translate and Click to Search to users. At the forefront of this technology is the Neo QLED 8K, which provides the most advanced viewing experiences though AI features like 8K AI Upscaling Pro, Auto HDR Remastering Pro and Color Booster Pro — all of which work behind the scenes to intelligently enhance picture quality. Plus, The Frame’s art experience is expanding, allowing all Samsung QLEDs to come with a digital collection of over 3,000 art pieces, making it so that they can turn any room into a personal gallery.

Samsung’s commitment to its Screens Everywhere strategy is reflected in new display options for its appliances, including its new refrigerators with 9″ AI Home displays and other devices with 7″ screens. Consumers will be able to enjoy heightened functionality — including various entertainment services, AI features such as AI Vision Inside and direct access to the online grocery service Instacart — on a broader range of products.

Taking AI Everywhere

Beyond the home, Samsung’s AI innovations are set to transform new categories and industries with SmartThings Pro. Created to bring the same AI-powered digital solutions to business partners as SmartThings offers consumers, SmartThings Pro is a B2B solution spanning multi-residential homes to retail spaces, hotels, schools and more. Since its launch last June, SmartThings Pro provides businesses with integrations to better understand energy usage, proactively identify devices with maintenance needs and offer comprehensive control of connected solutions. Samsung is working with partners to create an innovative platform, Future Innovation Technology (FIT), for larger businesses and buildings to set automated climate controls that save energy and reduce electricity costs.

The company is also working with Samsung Heavy Industries on a new SmartThings collaboration that uses the Matter connectivity standard to connect with compatible ships. SmartThings for Ships offers a Pre-Sailing Mode, which allows captains and crews to automate when the engine starts and turn on settings for temperature and lights, saving time and energy. Meanwhile, Care Mode provides a complete view of a ship’s power, AC systems and smoke alarms, while Protection Mode constantly monitors for — and will alert captain and crew to — any abnormal activity.

Additionally, Samsung is expanding its SmartThings and automotive integrations in a new partnership with Hyundai Motor Group to bring SmartThings to Hyundai EVs. With the expanded ecosystem, users can now use SmartThings Find to easily locate their parked car, even in crowded parking lots. With the power of Home AI, SmartThings can make recommendations on when to recharge EVs based on schedules and rates. And if there is a neighborhood power outage, it will automatically activate Battery Backup Mode, which works alongside AI Energy Mode to extend the battery energy to power home essentials.

In the Automotive space, Samsung and its subsidiary Harman continue their promise to transform the in-car experience with new products that bring contextual awareness into the cabin. Leveraging Samsung’s expertise in UX and AI, HARMAN’s new in-vehicle avatar acts as an intelligent digital copilot that works with Harman products like Ready Care and Ready Vision to anticipate needs while drivers focus on the road.

Empowering the Next Generation

Finally, Inhee Chung, Vice President of the Corporate Sustainability Center, underscored how Samsung’s AI for All vision is rooted in the brand’s commitment to harness the power of advanced technology for a better, more inclusive world.

Samsung is introducing diverse and enhanced accessibility features through its AI-powered devices and services, starting with the ability to automatically sync accessibility features across home appliances from a smartphone.

From the first half of this year, Bixby will automatically have connected devices display text in high contrast or provide a voice guide for family members with low vision, all by simply recognizing their voice. For those with low vision,

AI is improving Audio Subtitles by lowering foreign language audio and reading out the subtitles in the language of the user’s choosing.

Chung also discussed how initiatives like Samsung Solve for Tomorrow, Samsung Innovation Campus and the company’s work with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) are enabling the next generation of innovators.

Today, Samsung Solve for Tomorrow challenges more than 2.6 million students across 66 countries to use STEM to address challenges in their community.

In particular, during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games last year, Samsung and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) launched a digital community “Together for Tomorrow, Enabling People” and appointed top 10 teams from global Solve for Tomorrow as community ambassadors.

Meanwhile, Samsung Innovation Campus has helped prepare nearly 180,000 young people across 33 countries for the workforce through training on emerging technologies like AI, IoT and big data.

In a video message, Achim Steiner, UNDP Administrator, joined VP Chung to share an update on Samsung and UNDP’s partnership to harness the power of technology for good. Since its initiation five years ago,

the Samsung Global Goals app has raised over $20 million thanks to nearly 300 million users who are using a Galaxy smartphone, tablet or watch.

Plus, Samsung and UNDP’s joint work through the Generation17 initiative continues to inspire extraordinary young leaders around the world who are mobilizing their communities to advance the Global Goals.
