 “In a rapidly evolving world, the UAE Government has chosen to lead the shift towards integrating AI into its daily work, a government that operates and serves people around the clock. AI now helps design programmes and policies, develop solutions, deliver services, and support decision making, ensuring the highest quality of service,” Sheikh Mohammed said. “Our teams are leading this national transformation. Their ability to work with future technologies is key to our success. Our ambitions are boundless, and the road ahead demands even greater determination worthy of the UAE’s name,” His Highness added.

He was accompanied by Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, President of the UAE Olympic Committee, and Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairperson of Dubai Culture and Arts Authority (Dubai Culture).

Sheikh Mohammed was briefed by Mohammad Abdullah Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs, on the progress of the project, in the presence of Omar Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications; along with a number of senior officials at the Ministry of Cabinet Affairs.

He learned about the objectives of the new Agentic AI system in government work, which aims to improve efficiency and enhance service quality and impact by transforming 50 per cent of government processes and services into Agentic AI-based models capable of executing tasks and making decisions independently.

Al Gergawi said the team has begun following through on the leadership’s directives, under the supervision of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Presidential Court.
