Since the February 2024 publication of the U.S.-U.A.E. Business Council’s policy report “The U.A.E.’s Big Bet on AI,” the U.A.E. has continued to make advancements in the artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced technology sector. The U.A.E. remains committed to developing a digital technology ecosystem, forging international partnerships in AI, and becoming a global thought leader that shapes the policy debate around AI. The U.A.E. is prioritizing the commercial deployment of AI in key sectors such as clean energy, life sciences, space, and manufacturing. The U.A.E. is also focused on scaling up AI infrastructure and building data centers to meet the growing demand for computing power.
