UAE experts in artificial intelligence have confirmed that the new AI advisor system for the Cabinet will provide government leaders with a broader vision when studying policies, and greater ability to keep up with regulatory developments and follow decisions until their implementation.

The experts, who are part of the UAE Experts Program, explained that the artificial intelligence advisor system will support ministers and government leaders without replacing the role of humans in decision-making by providing them with faster analyses, a wider base of information and evidence, and constantly updated recommendations. The experts will also participate in live sessions as part of the third training unit of the AI ​​track, alongside an elite group of decision-makers and experts who are leading the artificial intelligence journey in the UAE, including His Excellency Faisal Abdul Aziz Al Banaei, Advisor to the President for Strategic Research and Advanced Technology, and Secretary General of the Council for Advanced Technology Research.

Yasser Al Shahi, an engineer specializing in developing a multi-sector strategy for artificial intelligence (AI), believes that one of the system’s most important capabilities is its ability to link the potential effects of decisions across various government and community sectors. He notes that the impact of government decisions rarely remains limited to just one sector; for example, the outcomes of a transportation policy may extend to the economy, sustainability, infrastructure, and society as a whole. Here, AI can help connect these sectors, forecast possible results, and provide decision-makers with a more comprehensive view. This is where the real value lies: transforming information into timely insights.

In turn, Sultan Al Khaili, representing the policy, regulatory framework, and diplomatic sector for AI, said that “the initiative reflects the UAE’s leadership in moving AI from operational services and business to the core of the policymaking process. The initiative has provided a practical model for using AI in policy analysis, comparing experiences and regulatory frameworks, and assessing the potential outcomes of proposed decisions. As AI plays an increasingly important role in decision-making, it must be accompanied by clear governance frameworks, particularly regarding transparency, verification, and accountability.

For his part, Mohammed Al-Khabbi, representative of the Artificial Intelligence Sector Assistant said that the next stage for artificial intelligence in the government sector will go beyond just helping leaders make decisions to include supporting the implementation of those decisions and monitoring their results. Traditional AI systems respond to individual requests, while an AI assistant can go beyond this by analyzing the goal, dividing it into tasks, monitoring developments, and determining when additional actions may be necessary. This contributes to narrowing the gap between government decisions and targeted outcomes. The effectiveness of a decision is not just measured by its making but also by its success in achieving desired results through tracking progress, identifying delays, and risks.

It should be noted that the “AI Advisor for the Council of Ministers” system includes 32 specialized AI-supported advisors to analyze government policies, legislation, strategies, and systems.
