00:00My name is Dr. Edimitri. I'm the founder and CEO of QSS AI and Robotics. What we do is that we

00:11innovate and we localize global technologies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia when it comes to

00:16robotics and when it comes to AI. And what we do best is integrating those two cores together.

00:21Our first production line is for humanoid robots. So we do several types of humanoid robots. We have

00:26industrial robots and we have the non-industrial robots like Sarah and Mohammed, our most iconic

00:31robots. We do also localize robotic cars which is the autonomous mobile robots for different use cases

00:37and we localize manufacturing drones in Saudi Arabia. When it comes to software we also cook

00:44our own AI so we innovate from the heart of Saudi Arabia to put the GCC on the global map. Well

00:51I believe the GCC is a global leader in AI and being based in Saudi for the past 11 years I've

00:58seen how AI and investment AI is evolving in the Kingdom. I do believe that even though we've been

01:05investing and working in this domain since 2017 this is still the start. Technology is evolving rapidly

01:13and moving very quick. So our plans is not having Sarah or Mohammed or the car on the shelf. Our plan

01:22is to work globally not only locally to integrate robots and to see robots working hand by hand with

01:28the humans. Well I believe everyone should integrate AI into their daily business. As QSS we're lately

01:35integrating AI in a lot of giga projects. We currently have several projects with the Saudi government

01:41between airports to smart cities. We're deploying smart parkings. We're also deploying in the airline

01:48facility for the first time in the region AI to help take decisions in the in the airlines. And we

01:54found out that even if you save one olive from it late you're gonna save millions of dollars in fuel

01:59yearly. And like I always say no one wants to be the next Nokia. Nokia learned the hard way that they need

02:05to evolve they need to integrate AI. So my advice is to integrate AI as soon as you can before the train

02:13pass by. My advice for everyone especially the young people going into entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship

02:20is hard but it's an amazing journey to go through. So keep working on yourself. Obstacles will happen but

02:28stay strong. Believe in yourself and let's keep innovating from the heart of the GCC.
