Doha, Qatar: Qatar’s rapidly expanding artificial intelligence (AI) landscape is entering a new phase, with businesses and institutions moving beyond experimentation toward practical, problem-solving applications.

Industry leaders say the market is shifting from fast-paced initial adoption to a more strategic deployment of AI tools that address specific operational needs, particularly in multilingual, cross-border, and data-intensive environments.

Speaking to The Peninsula, David Shim, CEO and Co-Founder of Read AI, said that while large corporations may approach the company seeking thousands of licenses, meaningful insights come from direct conversations with end users. “We can have a large company come to us and say, from Qatar, ‘We want to buy 5,000 licenses,’ and we start to ask questions,” Shim said.

“But we don’t always get to the specific use case. Here, I’m able to talk with individuals and understand exactly how they’re using the product.”

The market leader cited examples of businesses operating multilingual meetings where participants speak Arabic, English, and Japanese on the same call, using Read AI to consolidate discussions and generate unified insights.
