The hard choices behind government AI

The UAE has invested heavily in artificial intelligence for nearly a decade. They appointed the world's first AI minister back in 2017 to lead these efforts.

Now the country is moving toward agentic AI that can take action on its own. This shift creates a major problem regarding who stays in control.

Government leaders must decide which choices a machine can make safely. They are currently figuring out where to draw the line between human judgment and automated systems.
