The National Library and Archives Highlights the Importance of Artificial Intelligence in Advancing Institutional Work
The National Library and Archives organized a lecture on artificial intelligence and the successful means of its application, with the objective of underscoring the role of artificial intelligence and its contributions to enhancing human capabilities and improving work efficiency across various sectors.
The lecture was delivered by Dr. Hassan Al Musabi, Technical Expert at the National Library and Archives, who addressed three principal themes: an introductory overview of artificial intelligence and its evolution; a review of Microsoft’s report titled “AI Roadmap: Path to Successful Application”; and an examination of institutional policies related to implementing strategies for adopting artificial intelligence.
The lecture highlighted the Microsoft report issued this year, which presents insights derived from interviews with more than one hundred decision-makers and technology experts on how smart solutions can be leveraged to achieve positive operational outcomes. Participants involved in developing the report affirmed that artificial intelligence will be a decisive factor in the growth and advancement of institutions in the coming period, emphasizing that AI readiness represents the primary enabler for the effective integration of artificial intelligence within institutional work environments.
The report noted that institutional readiness for adopting artificial intelligence is built upon five pillars: business strategy; technology and data; AI strategy and expertise; organization and culture; and, finally, governance and adoption.
In conclusion, Dr. Al Musabi reaffirmed the significance of artificial intelligence as an advanced technological tool that institutions can employ to accelerate processes and enhance service quality. He emphasized the need to establish a clear and precise vision for AI applications by first identifying the processes that require the integration of AI technologies. He also stressed that adopting artificial intelligence does not imply its application across all institutional processes, but rather in those prioritized by institutional strategy to advance performance and achieve excellence.
