Qatar Airways is set to showcase Sama 2.0, the first human-like AI cabin crew, at the Dubai World Trade Centre annual exhibition from May 6 to 9, 2024, as part of the airline’s pavilion in Hall No.2. Visitors attending the Arabian Travel Market (ATM) will have the opportunity to meet and engage with this innovative AI-powered cabin crew.
Sama 2.0 will interact with visitors, answering real-time questions and assisting travelers in designing curated travel experiences, providing destination information, support tips, and more during the event. Additionally, Qatar Airways’ customers can virtually interact with Sama 2.0 through the airline’s immersive digital platform, QVerse, or its app.
This advancement in AI technology reflects a growing trend in human-like robotics, with examples such as Sophia, the humanoid robot, making headlines in recent years. Notably, Saudi Arabia made history in 2017 by granting citizenship to Sophia, marking a significant milestone in the integration of AI into society.
