Asked by Dubai Media Incorporated what AI's biggest opportunity in media is, he answers that AI "may be a danger to today's media" and names the producer, the presenter, the cameraman, the director, the music, the script and the article: "Tomorrow, will we need a whole TV station with staff and a billion budget, or can AI create that station for me through a program that broadcasts series, songs and news?

H.E. Mohammad Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs.
