BIN ZAYED SHEIKH MOHAMED

Steering the UAE Toward AI Leadership

- 

Under the dynamic and visionary leadership of Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE has transformed from relying on natural resources to becoming a global center for technological innovation. Instead of treating AI as a mere fad, the President of the UAE has made it the backbone of the country's independence.

Through the incorporation of AI into both government and business practices, he is securing the country's position as a competitor in the international market that is changing very fast, guided by a plan of continuous prosperity and digital fortitude.

AI as a Sovereign National Strategy

The UAE Artificial Intelligence Strategy is rooted in the belief that technology is a strategic state asset. The first steps towards this goal were taken at the very beginning; in 2017, the UAE was the first country to name a Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, which indicated a change in the direction of a more proactive approach to tech governance.

Under the guidance of Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, AI has been embedded into federal planning to drive UAE Technology Leadership. This sovereign approach ensures that the nation does not merely consume technology but masters the underlying frameworks to guarantee economic stability and security.
