UAE Government to Run on Agentic AI Tech in the Next Two Years
AI (artificial intelligence) is starting to crawl into more delicate aspects of our everyday lives, including governance.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), announced on Thursday that under the directive of Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, the nation was pivoting to include AI as part of an automation push for government services.
On social media, Al Maktoum stressed that “50% of government sectors, services, and operations will run on Agentic AI,” establishing a two-year deadline to complete this migration.
He declared:
“AI is no longer a tool. It analyses, decides, executes, and improves in real time. It will become our executive partner to enhance services, accelerate decisions, and raise efficiency.”
The performance of these new systems will be evaluated by measuring several key elements, including speed of adoption, quality of implementation, and mastery of AI in redesigning government work.
Federal workers will not be left behind. Al Maktoum stressed that all employees will be trained to “master AI” to build the capabilities of the AI-driven government. Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed will oversee the implementation of this major transformational project, aiming to replace the current government with a faster, more responsive, and more impactful model.
“The world is changing. Technology is accelerating. Our principle remains constant. People come first,” Al Maktoum concluded.
The UAE has been open to the inclusion of AI in its government structure. In April 2025, Al Maktoum himself launched the Emirates’ AI-based legislative system, which uses AI agents to develop laws, monitor their effects using data analysis, and propose legislative amendments based on its observations.

AI Agents can already independently recreate complex academic papers: Mollick says most errors come from human original text rather than AI
Mollick points out that publicly available methods and data can allow AI agents to reproduce complex research without the original paper and code; if the reproduction does not match the original paper, it is usually due to errors in the paper’s own data processing or overextension of the conclusions, rather than the AI. Claude first reproduces the paper, and then GPT‑5 Pro cross-validates it; most attempts succeed, but they are blocked when the data is too large or when there are issues with the replication data. This trend greatly reduces labor costs, making reproduction a widely actionable form of verification, and it also raises institutional challenges for peer review and governance, with government governance tools or becoming a key issue.
