The UAE government has set strict limits on AI use in public services, prohibiting AI agents from making autonomous decisions that significantly impact people's livelihoods. It targets AI handling 50% of federal services within two years but mandates oversight through a centralized monitoring system to control risk and errors.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a stricter compliance regime deploying AI in UAE government services, with central monitoring and strict limits on autonomous decision-making. Adjust your product roadmap to ensure human oversight is integral to win contracts in this market.
