Under the directives of President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the United Arab Emirates has unveiled a new government model that will see half of all government sectors, services, and operations powered by Agentic AI within two years.
Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum announced the initiative on ‘X’, stating that this makes the UAE the first nation globally to operate at such a scale through autonomous systems.
“AI is no longer a tool. It analyses, decides, executes, and improves in real time. It will become our executive partner to enhance services, accelerate decisions, and raise efficiency,” he said.
The UAE Prime Minister further said the transformation will be measured by the speed of adoption, the quality of implementation, and the mastery of AI in redesigning government work.
“This transformation has a clear timeline. Two years. We are investing in our people. Every federal employee will be trained to master AI, building one of the world’s strongest capabilities in AI-driven government.
“The world is changing. Technology is accelerating. Our principle remains constant. People come first. Our goal is a government that is faster, more responsive, and more impactful,” he added.
Oversight of the rollout will be led by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, with a dedicated task force chaired by Mohammad Al Gergawi driving execution. (Newswire)
