In the face of Lebanon’s multifaceted challenges, from economic instability to infrastructural decay, the path forward demands strategic vision anchored on embracing transformative technological innovation and modern solutions.

Fadi Zuhayri, Former Senior Technology Executive at Intel Corporation & currently the Chair of the USA-based AI and Security Committee at Future 10X, envisions a transformative role for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in redefining Lebanon’s urban landscape and governance structures.

With over three decades of leadership experience in the tech industry, including a significant tenure at Intel Corporation based in Portland, Oregon, Zuhayri is recognized expert in driving global initiatives for transforming cutting-edge technology into scalable business solutions.

His leadership at Future 10X aims to foster global collaboration, shape AI strategies, and accelerate the deployment of AI solutions tailored to local needs.

“Lebanon’s future hinges on our ability to integrate advanced technologies into every facet of our urban development and governance,” Zuhayri asserts.

“AI isn’t just a tool; it’s a catalyst for rebuilding trust, enhancing efficiency, and fostering sustainable growth.”

The upcoming AI in Lebanon Conference, under Zuhayri’s guidance, is poised to be more than just a gathering of tech enthusiasts. It’s envisioned as a national turning point, bringing together top executives, trusted advisors, and policymakers to chart a course for Lebanon’s digital transformation.

Zuhayri emphasizes the importance of responsible AI adoption, acknowledging challenges such as infrastructure investments, data security, and privacy concerns. “Our goal is to build bridges of expertise between the US and the MENA region, empowering businesses and governments to harness AI’s potential responsibly and effectively,” he notes.

As Lebanon stands at the crossroads of crisis and opportunity, leaders like Fadi Zuhayri offer a vision grounded in innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to leveraging technology for the public good.
