🇦🇪UAE Targets 50% of Government Operations for Agentic AI The United Arab Emirates announced a plan to move 50% of government sectors, services, and operations to agentic AI within two years. The initiative presents AI not as a support tool, but as a system capable of analyzing, deciding, executing, and improving in real time. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum described AI as an “executive partner” intended to enhance services, accelerate decisions, and increase efficiency. The strategy builds on prior UAE investments in digital identity infrastructure, smart government services, sovereign cloud capacity, data strategies, and national AI programs. Experts noted that infrastructure readiness is comparatively strong, but implementation will depend on redesigning workflows, policies, and administrative processes across government institutions. Analysts also pointed to legal and governance constraints. While AI-assisted services for high-volume, low-complexity tasks may enable the 50% target, fully autonomous decision-making in complex public sector functions remains limited by trust, accountability, fragmented legacy systems, and uneven data readiness. #AIRegulation#AIGovernment#AgenticAI#PublicSector#UAE
