About the Workshop The workshop was moderated by Dr. Saucet and Michel Chalhoub who discussed the future of artificial intelligence in retail and street marketing. During the workshop, an experimentation was conducted to demonstrate the growing effective role of artificial intelligence in the fields of business and retail. Attendees were asked to try out the different scents and fragrances of Chalhoub Groupís latest collection of Ghawali fragrances. Then an ìartificially intelligentî software NESTOR Ai predicted their behaviors and personal characteristics by reading their facial expressions. Following this experience, the brand decided to implement the knowledge acquired in real operations in KSA, Dubai and Bahrain. Dr. Saucet said during the conference that ìthe 4th industrial revolution (Ai, Drones, Nanotechnology, Big data, 3D printing, Chatbots …) is going to change radically the job world of event, sport, retail, luxury … 50 % of the jobs that we know today are going to disappear in the next 25 years. The new partnership and the new training programs that we are launching with CED – University of Dubai and Kedge Business School are going to help managers adapt their career to this major transformation.” See Also: Confucius Institute Headquarters Touring Show†
