Combat Humidity with LG's Smart Dehumidifiers for a Cooler, Healthier Home
As the UAE pushes through the peak of summer, rising humidity levels are becoming an inevitable challenge for homeowners. High humidity can make indoor spaces feel uncomfortably sticky, while also contributing to mold growth, furniture damage, and poor air quality. To combat these issues, LG Electronics introduces its LG Smart Dehumidifier, a cutting-edge solution designed to deliver powerful performance and ensure your home remains cool, dry, and healthy throughout the season. At the heart of the LG Smart Dehumidifier is its ability to efficiently remove up to 30 liters of moisture per day, equivalent to extracting water from 120 bottles (250ml each). This impressive capacity makes it the perfect ally for tackling the damp conditions that accompany summer in the UAE. Whether you're looking to protect your furniture, improve air quality, or simply create a more comfortable living environment, the LG Smart Dehumidifier rises to the occasion with unmatched efficiency. The secret to its superior performance lies in LG's Dual Inverter Compressor technology, which automatically adjusts dehumidification intensity based on real-time humidity levels. By doing so, it not only ensures optimal moisture control but also reduces energy consumption—an essential feature for households mindful of their electricity bills during the summer months. And despite its powerful capabilities, the dehumidifier operates at a whisper-quiet 33 decibels, ensuring that it works discreetly in the background without disrupting your daily life. Adding to its appeal is the seamless integration of LG ThinQ™ technology, which allows users to control and monitor the device remotely via their smartphone. Whether you're scheduling sessions, tracking energy usage, or receiving alerts for full drain buckets, managing your home's humidity has never been easier. The convenience of smart connectivity ensures that your home remains comfortable even when you're on the go. Designed with both functionality and aesthetics in mind, the LG Smart Dehumidifier features a sleek, modern design that complements any interior space. Practical elements such as a Push and Pull Handle, 360-degree casters, and a transparent water tank make it easy to use and move around the house. Additional attachments like the Shoe Dry Y-hose and Closet Dry T-hose further enhance its versatility, making it ideal for drying shoes, closets, and other damp areas. In regions like the UAE, where high humidity is a persistent issue during the summer, the LG Smart Dehumidifier is more than just an appliance, it's a comprehensive solution for maintaining a comfortable and healthy home. By effectively reducing moisture levels, improving air quality, and operating with exceptional energy efficiency, it addresses the unique challenges posed by the local climate.

UAE Tech Leaders View Cloud & GenAI Transformation As Top Business Priorities: Coursera-AWS Report
A majority of UAE technology leaders identify cloud (93%) and Generative AI (GenAI) (89%) transformation as top business priorities over the next three years, recognizing both as foundational to future growth. That's according to new research from leading global online learning platform Coursera, developed in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS). Titled From Cloud to AI: How Tech Leaders are Investing in Skills Development to Drive Transformation, the report offers key insights into how organizations and their senior technology leaders are strategically addressing skills gaps to meet their digital transformation goals. Core findings show that UAE tech leaders view keeping pace with technology (61%) and staying ahead of security threats (60%) as the most critically important drivers of skills development. Optimizing cloud spend (59%) and managing complex infrastructures (52%) were also cited as major concerns, underscoring the urgent need for a skilled workforce. Kais Zribi, Coursera's General Manager for the Middle East and Africa, said: 'While automation is vital to transforming teams, workflows, and business operations, the UAE data reveal that strategic investments in human capital through upskilling and reskilling will be crucial to driving innovation. As organizations look to fully harness the potential of cloud and AI, investing equally in technology and people will be foundational to building a future-ready workforce. 'This report delivers a clear mandate for technology leaders: investing in skills development must be a cornerstone of every transformation strategy.' The report also highlights that 95% of tech leaders worldwide view cloud transformation as a key business goal. Globally, foundational skills are prioritized, with 63% ranking cloud skills, such as cloud development and engineering, as the most critical, followed by data (58%) and cybersecurity (54%). AI skills rank fourth, with 47% identifying them as important over the next three years. Globally, tech leaders report clear benefits from investing in skills development, including enhanced performance and productivity (72%), greater workforce agility (67%), and improved talent mobility (58%). More than half (52%) of global tech leaders expect 30-50% of tasks to be automated. Nearly all (99%) anticipate their codebases will be partially AI-generated or developed with AI assistance in the next three years, with 86% expecting 20-50% of their codebase to involve AI in its creation. Yet, 88% believe human contributions remain irreplaceable, emphasizing that AI success depends on greater investment in talent development. In fact, 77% of leaders globally recognize that upskilling existing employees will be essential to achieving transformation goals within the next 12 to 18 months. The global study was conducted across the US, the UK, India, the UAE, France, and Mexico between March and April 2025. It captures insights from more than 750 technology leaders responsible for large-scale digital transformation initiatives at organizations with over 1,000 employees and average annual revenues exceeding US$100 million (with UAE-based companies averaging US$21.6 billion).
