A specialised seminar with participation of UAE Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Turkmenistan Ahmed Al Hameli was held at the Yagshygeldi Kakayev International University of Oil and Gas on 27 May. The event was devoted to the prospects of introducing artificial intelligence in the oil and gas sector and the development of bilateral cooperation in this field. This is reported by the Ministry of Education of Turkmenistan.

Mr Al Hameli highlighted in detail the UAE's experience in integrating artificial intelligence technologies into the educational process and industry.
