His Excellency the Minister of Labour and Social Development, Mr Jameel bin Mohammed Ali Humaidan, received writer Dr Jassim Haji at the Ministry today and accepted a copy of his new book, “Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation, necessity post COVID-19”. The publication explores how digital transformation can drive productivity across the labour market, identifying current and future production sectors that stand to benefit from technological advances and explaining how artificial intelligence can create high‑quality, rewarding employment as businesses modernise their operations. Humaidan praised the author’s research, describing the subject as vital in light of the global shift from traditional roles to technology‑centred occupations. He stressed the need for all relevant bodies to prepare national human resources through targeted training that equips them with skills suited to the evolving labour landscape. Such forward‑looking studies, he said, will help Bahraini youth seize opportunities in information technology and contribute to the Kingdom’s growth in promising digital sectors.
