How do you invest in AI when the old rules don’t work anymore?

In classic SaaS, adding a new user costs almost nothing. In AI, every query has a price tag. So does the unicorn playbook still work?

In January, we brought together four investors and founders from , , Rovio / Slush, and at MCT Summit in Abu Dhabi to answer exactly that.

The short answer: the rules aren’t broken. They just need an upgrade.

This time it’s different. Or is it?

Looking at AI through the lens of history tells a familiar story — from the printing press to microchips, from the PC to Google. Every major technological shift goes through a phase of hype.

On the stage of AI Summit, Serge Belongie, Director of the Pioneer Centre for AI, explained why much of today’s generative AI conversation is driven by hype — and why stripping it away reveals something far more important: powerful, practical technology that demands clear leadership, governance, and accountability to create real impact.

✍️ These perspectives are shaping our planning for 2026.

📊 The skills gap is becoming the biggest bottleneck of the AI era.
AI is transforming how knowledge is created, applied, and scaled — but education systems are struggling to keep up.

Join the panel “AI Classroom: Rethinking Education for the Knowledge Economy” at the MCT Summit to discover how universities, research institutions, and governments must rethink education to prepare talent for an AI-driven world.

We’ll discuss:
• How AI is reshaping learning, research, and academic institutions
• What skills define the knowledge economy — and how to teach them
• The role of universities in national AI strategies
• How education systems adapt to continuous technological change
