Artificial intelligence's potential on Bahrain's labour market

Bahrain's HM King Hamad said in October 2019 that the country needed a national strategy to achieve complete preparedness to cope with the digital economy by embracing and exploiting artificial intelligence technologies. Additionally, Bahrain is home to a significant regional cloud computing hub, as well as an extensive finance industry. As a result, numerous active incubators and accelerators have been established to promote entrepreneurship and IT start-ups in the region.AI Development has advanced in recent years. A model has been created to estimate the potential of AI on the labor market of Bahrain. Based on our model around 53% of tasks across all industries can be automated by AI. The model shows that the potential of AI is the same for Bahraini and non-Bahraini workers. Our model can be used to recognize the potential of AI in each industry and help organization take advantage of opportunities they are missing.
