![]() The three people who died in construction-related incidents were from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Germany, Cooling said, adding that investigations into the separate incidents determined the deaths to be accidents. The UAE rejected the charges.Įxpo 2020 says it enforces higher workplace standards than the UAE requires, that contractors are audited and that it intervenes when infringements are discovered. The European parliament last month called on member states to boycott the Expo over the UAE's "inhumane practices" against migrant workers which it said were exacerbated in the pandemic. Those in low-paid jobs are most vulnerable to exploitation, often living in cramped, unsanitary quarters and typically paying high recruitment fees. Limited protections are offered to migrant workers in the UAE and other Gulf states. "We are just not permitted to disclose that information," health and safety vice president Rob Cooling said.ĭubai's media office did not respond to a request for comment. The United Arab Emirates is expecting 25 million visits over the next six months to the $6.8 billion Expo, which like other mega projects in the Gulf region have attracted international scrutiny over conditions of blue collar migrants.Īsked by Reuters if there had been other deaths, including whether workers had died off-site from other causes, executives repeatedly declined to say, referring queries to authorities. The state organiser disclosed three people had died after contracting COVID-19 in addition to the previously announced three construction-related fatalities among 200,000 people who have worked on Expo in the past six years. Our tech makes skills measurable and helps every one to get rid of the skills gap: maximize your labor market value, maximize your company’s skills asset value, maximize your curriculum’s business & industry value.Įverything 100% Headai IP, based on over 20 years of experience in the cognitive and computational sciences.DUBAI, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Expo 2020 Dubai, the huge world fair that opened last week, on Sunday revised up the number of worker deaths to six to include COVID-linked and construction-related fatalities but said it could not say whether more had died from other causes. Headai is a Finnish technology company developing Cognitive Artificial Intelligence for enabling data flows and predictive simulations inside the skills data ecosystem. –Pasi Tuominen, Project Director at Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences Working with Headai was easy and effortless. Headai made it clear to us what was the AI’s role and which were our tasks. Pasi Tuominen, Project director at Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences, describes the Crystal Ball solution:Įven though the solution covered a complex theme with data analytics, the implementation progressed really smoothly. There are a total of 10 500 students and 640 employees. Learning methods engage students in real projects for corporations and businesses. Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences offers career-focused programmes with strong industry and business links. Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences Selected “skills set” and “employer profile” pops out in different areas according to the demand (open vacancies). A globe (crystal ball) with recognizable details of chosen major cities. The visualizations were build using The Dreamoc, which gives an illusion of the science fiction hologram. HeadAI discovered open vacancies in 10 major cities in the world. This simulation was cross-referenced with Haaga-Helia UAS educational offering, hence the variety of diplomas and degrees preparing students for hundreds of different jobs and fields. HeadAI created an AI-empowered simulation of skills, competencies, personalities needed in different positions/jobs. All in all, the Crystal Ball connects education, skills, jobs, and archetype roles in an interesting way. Finally, the whole globe hologram can be discovered to find jobs and the skill sets related to them. The Crystal Ball enables digging into 5 profiles/professions and simulating them with the skills that can be learned from five education programs of Haaga-Helia UAS. It is based on labor market data that covers five cities around the world: Helsinki, Austin, Dubai, Singapore, and Nairobi, and consists of tens of thousands of job ads from 12 months period. We at Headai took a virtual tool around the Finnish pavilion. ![]()
