Abu Dhabi-based artificial intelligence and cloud computing firm, G42, has revealed an undisclosed investment in Analog, a new edge computing and AI company launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Analog, headquartered in Abu Dhabi, aims to revolutionize edge computing by developing AI-powered solutions that enhance speed and operating efficiency for individuals and businesses. Founder and CEO of Analog, Alex Kipman, highlighted the company’s focus on creating experiences that simplify and enhance everyday life while emphasizing the importance of technology that amplifies human skills rather than replacing them.
Analog’s launch at AI House Davos, a platform for responsible AI progress in which G42 is the initiating partner, marks a significant step in addressing global challenges across various sectors, including business, public services, healthcare, and the environment. With edge computing gaining prominence for processing data closer to users in real-time, Analog aims to harness data from millions of sensors to provide valuable insights and solutions that are human-centric. Despite recent controversies surrounding G42’s alleged ties with blacklisted Chinese entities, Analog’s announcement aligns with G42’s commitment to expanding its portfolio of AI-powered businesses, with a strong emphasis on long-term growth in both regional and global AI ecosystems.
