Overview
- The UAE Cabinet, which announced the plan on Thursday, set a two-year goal to run half of federal services with agentic AI that can act on tasks with limited human input.
- Oversight will sit with Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, with a task force led by Mohammed Al Gergawi and entity performance tracked on adoption speed, implementation quality and AI mastery.
- Every federal employee will receive mandatory AI training to build in-house skills for deploying and supervising these systems.
- Ministries will phase deployments and assess results, with services expected to become faster and more proactive so renewals and approvals trigger before residents ask.
- Analysts say progress hinges on clean, connected data and strong guardrails because fully autonomous decisions in complex cases still face trust, oversight and accountability limits.
