Dubai: His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, reviewed progress on a major government initiative to deploy Agentic AI across 50% of UAE government sectors and services within two years. The review took place in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai. The project aims to transform government operations by integrating Agentic AI systems capable of autonomous execution and decision-making, enhancing efficiency, service delivery, and overall impact. Sheikh Mohammed said integrating AI into government operations is a strategic priority for the next phase of development, aligned with the vision of UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. “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,” Sheikh Mohammed said. “AI now helps design programmes and policies, develop solutions, deliver services, and support decision-making, ensuring the highest quality of service.” Sheikh Mohammed added that national teams are leading the transformation and that their ability to work with advanced technologies will be key to future success. The meeting was attended by His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, President of the UAE Olympic Committee, and Her Highness Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairperson of Dubai Culture and Arts Authority. During the session, Mohammed Abdullah Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs, briefed Sheikh Mohammed 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 senior officials. Al Gergawi said work has already begun to implement leadership directives under the supervision of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Presidential Court, with efforts focused on identifying requirements and mechanisms to achieve the targeted transformation. The initiative is designed to streamline procedures, accelerate service delivery, and enhance the accuracy and efficiency of government decision-making through integrated federal data and advanced digital infrastructure. It also aims to build national AI capabilities, enable faster and more proactive services, and reinforce the UAE’s position as a global leader in advanced, people-centric government models.
