A survey by Robert Walters finds that 79% of UAE professionals report expanded job responsibilities linked to increased AI adoption, with 73% using AI tools to cover skills gaps. The trend raises concerns over unrecognised workload growth and workforce retention challenges.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Enterprise Software, and 2 sources have reported it between 10 Aug 2026 and 14 Aug 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

AI has expanded what employees in the UAE are expected to handle without formal job changes or pay rises. You must redefine capacity and workforce plans this week or risk losing talent under growing unrecognised pressure.
