The UAE has become the first country to let artificial intelligence draft, review and update its federal and local laws, a move anchored by a newly-created Regulatory Intelligence Office.
The AI-driven system will work alongside human officials, building a real-time database of legislation, court rulings and public-service data so it can suggest tweaks on the fly and, according to Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, make lawmaking faster and more precise.
Cabinet projections say the technology could slash drafting timelines by 70%, cut administrative costs in half and, by 2030, help lift GDP by roughly 35% as part of the nation’s long-running AI agenda that started with appointing the world’s first AI minister, Omar Sultan Al Olama, back in 2017.
