Jan 20 (Reuters) - Abu ⁠Dhabi sovereign ⁠wealth ‍fund Mubadala is targeting opportunities in artificial intelligence and robotics, ‍viewing the sectors as a major source ​of industrial growth and a guide for ​future investments, its group CEO said on Tuesday.

The $330 billion fund has been expanding its technology portfolio in ​recent years, with stakes in companies spanning semiconductors, data centres and AI ​infrastructure.

“What I’m very interested in at the moment is the ‌intersection between AI and robotics and how robotics, once that kicks in, ​is going to impact ⁠manufacturing and industry,” Khaldoon Al Mubarak said on a panel ‌at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

“We used to look at a 10-year ‌perspective in the good old days. I think now, ‌with AI, even five years is hard."

Beyond robotics, Mubadala is also prioritising life sciences, healthcare and ‍biotechnology, sectors that Al Mubarak said will be transformed by ⁠AI.

Mubadala is also preparing for another phase of growth in Africa, he added.
