Mariam bint Mohammed Saeed Hareb Almheiri, Head of the International Affairs Office in the UAE Presidential Court, has revealed that the UAE is pioneering the world's first ChatGPT tool tailored for the agricultural sector. This groundbreaking announcement was made at the UAE Pavilion during COP29, where a series of events highlighted the pivotal role of technology, collaboration, and data in advancing decarbonization and promoting global energy transition, with a particular emphasis on agricultural innovation and hydrogen development.
During a session titled 'In Partnering to Create AI-based Public Goods for One Billion+ Smallholders,' Almheiri's declaration that the UAE is spearheading the development of the world's first ChatGPT tool for the agricultural community was met with widespread acclaim. This innovative tool, already dubbed 'CHAG' (Chat + Ag) and fully accessible, leverages over 50 years of research data. It is a testament to the UAE's rapid advancements in the AI revolution, showcasing the nation's expertise and capability in developing sophisticated large-language models.
The CHAG tool is set to revolutionize farming practices worldwide, particularly benefiting farmers operating in challenging climatic conditions. In a session with AIM for Scale, a component of the UAE-Gates Foundation partnership, Almheiri, who also serves as a Member of the International Humanitarian and Philanthropic Council, participated in a panel discussion alongside representatives from the Gates Foundation. The discussion focused on how farmers are being empowered with a crucial tool to make informed decisions regarding planting and harvesting schedules, and to adapt to fluctuating weather patterns. 'Rather than offering a general forecast, we are transforming this data into actionable insights for farmers through the power of AI,' explained Celeste Saulo, Secretary General of the World Meteorological Organisation.
