About the U.S.-U.A.E. Business Council’s AI and Tech Working Group: The U.S.-U.A.E. Business Council, through its AI and Tech Working Group, has set up an AI Task Force that provides a platform for U.A.E. leadership to engage with the industry about their vision for AI. This task force convenes industry leaders to discuss international best practices, advocate for policies that underpin the responsible regulation of AI, and explore the transformative potential of AI in all sectors. This working group gives our members a voice driving discussion on bilateral technology policy issues — illustrated at the 2026 U.S.-U.A.E. Economic Policy Dialogue, in advocacy with U.S. and U.A.E. government leaders like our letter to Secretary of Commerce Lutnick on the AI Acceleration Partnership, and in pursuing the U.S.-U.A.E. AI Acceleration Partnership at GITEX 2025.
This meeting will coincide with the thirteenth edition of theWorld Governments Summit in Dubai. This Summit will bring together governments, international organizations, thought leaders, and private sector leaders from around the globe to foster international cooperation and identify innovative solutions for future challenges.
