Profiling and artificial intelligence are highly practiced in the existing scenario for their safety
and security. In current times, people highly eliminate the information based security with
machine-based information because of the threat of data piracy. However, it is established in the
existing scenario for the safety with the security. In the earlier period, people highly eliminate
information-based security along with machine-based information because of the threat of data
piracy (Budnitz, Rogner, and Shihab-Eldin, 2018). However, it is built in current times because
information trend continues to grow and society has been forced for building new and intimate
familiarities with the data-driven system and algorithm. In UAE, the artificial agent acts for
decision making and devices that aids for algorithm learning procedure, automation, and drive
the data. It also entails the system for the advanced cognitive system, online suggestion and also
supports in the safety and security of the people (Ahmed, 2017).
3. Rationale for your proposed study

6. Review of relevant literature
As per the view of Meshkati et al. (2016), profiling and artificial intelligence is stable transaction
from storage tower implementations to utility of function in across of several industries as a type
of artificial general intelligence competencies. It is related to different products and services and
application that maintain end-users. This transformation would have an intense impact on the
security, safety, and privacy of the company and customers. It is also evaluated that uses of
artificial intelligence are growing in across of different sector and it is associated with safety,
security, and privacy of people.
Importance of profiling and AI
(Sources: Nguyen, 2016).

DOCTORATE RESEARCH PROPOSAL 5
In opposed to this, Pathirage and Al-Khaili (2016) stated that the AI-powered technique is used
to perform the particular repetitive task with efficiency. The key reason for practicing profiling
and AI is that it could remove the error of an individual from the tasks and aids to accomplish the
appropriate result. Moreover, such a tool could be performed 24*7 hours as compared to the
involvement of humans. Therefore, they eliminate the need for managing a different group of
teams in a day and night shifts to work on particular tasks. For example, profiling and AI-
powered chat support could answer the uncertainties of customers and provides help to visitors in
each minute of the day and improves the revenue of the company.
In the view of Jakhu and Chen (2018), people are engaged to learn artificial intelligence
associated with machines as it would aid to deal with the difficult equations and creates the
critical tasks on their own. Therefore, the outcome created may generate the reliable outcome
instead involving the human participation. This high truthfulness develops indispensable to deal
in several sectors particularly, owing to the criticality of tasks. In addition, robots are superior
with regards to resolving the major concerns like avoiding data theft in UAE.
Advancements and contributions of Artificial Intelligence in profiling
According to Theophilus et al. (2018), AI practices are contributing to profiling such as storage
of customer data and their experiences. It aids to retain the customers at long terms and also
helps to increase customer loyalty. It is analyzed that AI practices machine learning algorithms
like deep learning with neural networks to learn the innovative profiling things in UAE. This
approach may eliminate the need to write new code at each time as an individual needs to learn
more innovating things of profiling.
In contrast to this, Meshkati and Tabibzadeh (2016) the key advantage of practicing artificial
intelligence powered machines is to manage the profiling the work. It also aids to gather a large

DOCTORATE RESEARCH PROPOSAL 6
quantity of information related to performance. This data can be processed to collect the deep
perception about the process with qualitative assessment hence; people can keep the safety and
security in profiling.
Roles of profiling and AI to improve the safety and security of people in UAE
According to Newman Isaacs and Constantin (2016), people should use software that is easier to
use and smarter that could be effective to improve safety and security in UAE. It can also
provide the digital integration to insert AI from the key of edge. It would also make competent to
people for real-time evaluation. It illustrates the capability to perform smart intake, pivoting,
shifting, splitting and rapid data backbiting. An individual should identify the AI machines that
combine the needs with objectives. For instance, when an individual is performing smart data
wrangling then they may require verifying everything that they have attained. It can lead to
identifying the resources to complete the task. Moreover, an individual can also generate the app
for introducing and calling the rest limitations.
In opposed to this, Alqahtani et al. (2015) illustrated that people should focus on the vertically-
oriented approach and customize to the area. They can also involve different components to deal
with the AI based concern. It can also focus on different features of AI to determine safety and
security. It can also support to comprehend the profiling of customers and aids in understanding
attributes preferred by consumers.
With regards to the business of UAE, Memon (2017) recommended that a corporation should
understand the business concern that needs to resolve. In such a manner, AI should be
implemented in the business procedure to identify the concern. There are some case studies
which would support for understanding the positive and negative aspect for leveraging the

DOCTORATE RESEARCH PROPOSAL 7
technology in an effective way. This technology would have highly persuaded the business
process with respect to measuring the safety and security of people in UAE.
7. Methodology
Philosophies
Interpretivism philosophy of research will be practiced in this research study because
interpretivism philosophy would facilitate the research scholar to evaluate the views and opinion
of the research participants in an effective manner. This philosophy would also assist the
research scholar to achieve the reliable outcome related to AI (artificial intelligence) and its
implications to enhance safety and security in UAE. Interpretivism philosophy plays an
imperative role in the accumulation of reliable facts about research dilemma. In contrast to this,
due to subjective nature of this research study, positivism and realism philosophies of research
would not be practiced by the researcher (Butti Al Shamsi, et. al., 2018).
Approaches
This investigation is subjective in nature and due to this reason; inductive research approach
would be executed by the research scholar as compared to a deductive approach. This research
approach enables the researcher to gain theoretical knowledge of the current research matter.
Research scholar could enhance the trustworthiness and validity of the research outcome by
implementing this research approach. Inductive research approach would facilitate the researcher
to determine AI (artificial intelligence) and its implications to enhance the safety and security in
UAE. On the other hand, in this research study, there is no need of making a hypothesis for
responding to research questions (Alders, et. al., 2018).

DOCTORATE RESEARCH PROPOSAL 8
Qualitative research design would be used by the investigator due to its exploratory nature. This
research design offers a full image of expectations to the research scholar through a research
project. Further, this research design facilitates the investigator to evaluate the individual’s
behavior and components that affecting behavior. Under this investigation, an investigator would
keep the objectivity and try to conduct a precise measurement for attaining the reliable research
outcome (Faour-Klingbeil, and Todd, 2018).
Research type
Causal type of research would be executed by the research scholar for evaluating the effects and
causes of the relationship between profiling and AI (artificial intelligence), and safety and
security in UAE. This type of research delivers appropriate data related to research matter. It also
supports the research scholar for accumulating the real and valid facts associated with profiling
and AI (artificial intelligence) and its implications to enhance the safety and security in UAE
(Najaf, et. al., 2017).
Research strategy
In this investigation, an investigator will use case study associated with Profiling as an integral to
enhance safety and security in UAE. By using this approach, an investigator would be competent
to assess the previous phenomenon related to research concern. Moreover, a case study is
practiced for assessing the particular research concern within the edge of a company. In this
investigation, a descriptive case study is practiced by an investigator to evaluate the key concern
related to this investigation (Alders, et. al., 2018).
In contrast to this, a literature review is practiced by an investigator to attain the aim and
objectives of the investigation. Through the literature review, an investigator will use different
secondary sources like textbooks, journal articles, online sites, and offline articles for obtaining

DOCTORATE RESEARCH PROPOSAL 9
deep knowledge about the Profiling as an integral to enhance safety and security in UAE. This
strategy would be beneficial for obtaining a reliable and valid outcome. These strategies would
enable an investigator for increasing the trustworthiness of investigation result (Butti Al Shamsi,
et. al., 2018).
Sample
Research scholar would utilize a non-probability sampling technique in this research study due to
the subjective nature of this investigation. Under this sampling technique, the investigator would
choose sample group as per their own views and opinion. Investigator would practice their
personal opinion for selecting the group of the sample for obtaining the aim and objectives of the
research. Consequently, the purposive sampling method of non-probability sampling would be
practiced by the research scholar. In purposive sampling method, research scholar assumes that
he/she could acquire the representative sampling with the help of their good judgment which will
consume minimum time and money (Najaf, et. al., 2017).
Data collection method
In this research study, the researcher would use secondary data collection method as this method
assist to attain the valid and appropriate research outcome. There are certain online and offline
sources that support to gather secondary data such as authentic websites, annual reports, journals,
and articles. This method is imperative as it provides accurate facts and data in minimum cost
and time. The trustworthy and consistent outcome could be achieved by incorporation of this
data into LR (literature review) (Faour-Klingbeil and Todd, 2018).
Research limitation
In the process of research, a research will face a certain issue that may negatively affect the
outcome of research. In this way, money, access to data and time are key constraints that can

DOCTORATE RESEARCH PROPOSAL 10
restrict the research with respect to collecting the valuable and reliable outcome. In this research,
the minimum time is required to conduct the research might negatively influence the whole
research study with regards to collecting the adequate amount of data via different sources
related to Profiling as an integral to enhance safety and security in UAE. In addition, money is
another limitation that could negatively influence the researcher to conduct genuine research in
this area. Because of less funding, a researcher will be unable to go towards the several sorts of
data resources and also unable for acquiring the data from authentic sources (Araújo, 2015). This
could also create an edge for the reliability and validity of research among people of UAE.
8. Ethical issues
Under this investigation, an investigator could face certain ethical concerns like privacy, in-text
citation, and plagiarism. Therefore, the researcher would use privacy act to maintain the privacy
of respondents. Moreover, in each paragraph, an investigator would provide a proper in-text
citation for gaining the reliability of investigation. The researcher will collect the peer-reviewed
articles for conducting the research ethically. By using this, a researcher will be proficient to
capture the secondary data in-depth associated with Profiling as an integral to enhance safety and
security in UAE. It is effective for the researcher to keep the authenticity of information
effectively (Athawale, 2015). Moreover, a researcher has instructed the approach related to
privacy like privacy data would not be revealed after and during the research study.
9. Risk considerations
There are some risk related to this research like peer-reviewed articles, authentic case studies,
and fake result that can influence the outcome of the investigation and generates the difficulty in
accomplishing the aim and objectives of research (Hatzivasilis, Papaefstathiou, and Manifavas,
2017).
