  "account": "Dubai-based Soika Labs has launched a new AI agent network called the Mockingjay Network, offering UAE companies 5,000 free credits to build and host AI agents on a shared public network. Co-founder Enzo Amur introduced the platform at the Dubai AI Festival on October 27, targeting UAE residents first. Mockingjay serves as an agentic operating system for businesses, allowing them to transition to agent-driven workflows and publish agents onto the Global Agentic Neural Network (GANN), where they can interact to achieve common goals.\n\nThe platform pools various language models and employs an auto-routing system to direct tasks to the most appropriate model, potentially saving users up to 70 percent in credits. Small and medium-sized businesses can leverage Mockingjay as an operating system, utilizing agents for company management and operations, with the option to publish these agents to the network for inter-company collaboration. Amur emphasizes that private agents remain sovereign, connecting to the wider network without exposing sensitive company data.\n\nAmur rejects the notion that the platform eliminates the need for human involvement, stating that Soika Labs mandates at least one human per division for safe operation. While a one-person company is technically feasible, he argues that departments and additional audit layers necessitate human oversight, especially as the number of agents grows. He anticipates that \"human in the loop\" roles will become increasingly important as the scale expands.\n\nThe company operates on the principle that \"in the era of AI, being human matters more,\" urging users to balance AI usage with maintaining work-life balance and limiting AI's influence in personal life. Soika Labs aligns with the UAE's National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence 2031, which aims to position the country among the world's leading AI nations. Businesses across the UAE and the broader GCC region are shifting from merely adopting AI tools to applying them for tangible operational benefits. Amur credits the UAE government's management approach and innovation-friendly environment for fostering an impactful and beneficial initiative for humanity.\n\nAmur's final message to users is succinct: \"Let AI do more so you can be more,\" but cautions against allowing AI to take over completely.",
