It will become our executive partner to enhance services, accelerate decisions, and raise efficiency.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Under the directives of the President of the UAE, we launch a new government model. Within two years, 50% of government sectors, services, and operations will run on Agentic AI, making the UAE the first government globally to operate at this scale through autonomous systems.<br><br>AI\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/53OQLe7RXl\">pic.twitter.com\/53OQLe7RXl<\/a>\u2014 HH Sheikh Mohammed (@HHShkMohd) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HHShkMohd\/status\/2047277766769545352?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 23, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The initiative will redesign government policies, processes, and procedures around AI capabilities, enabling autonomous systems to perform tasks proactively, reduce operational costs, and boost productivity. Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Vice President and Deputy Prime Minister, will oversee implementation, with a dedicated task force chaired by Mohammad Abdullah Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs, driving execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ministers, directors general, and federal entities will be evaluated on the speed of AI adoption and quality of implementation \u2014 not just traditional service outputs. All federal employees will be required to complete AI training, with deployment proceeding in phases and guided by continuous performance assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UAE has built toward this over two decades: transitioning to e-government in 2010, launching a Smart Government initiative in 2013, and rolling out the UAE Pass digital identity platform, which now counts more than 13 million users. In 2017, it became the first country to appoint a Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence and launched the UAE AI Strategy 2031. The Ministry of Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications followed in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No other government has set a comparable mandate. The United States favors a decentralized, market-driven model \u2014 its March 2026 AI framework explicitly opposes creating a new federal AI regulator, and federal AI agent deployment remains fragmented across agencies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EU\u2019s AI Act, the world\u2019s most comprehensive AI law, has its high-risk provisions taking full effect in August 2026 with potential delays; <a href=\"https:\/\/insights.utu.fi\/one-technology-three-regulatory-paths-how-the-eu-the-us-and-china-govern-ai-2025-early-2026-part-ii\/\">analysts describe it as a global outlier<\/a> that prioritizes governance guardrails over deployment speed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China\u2019s state-led model updated its cybersecurity law with explicit AI provisions in January 2026, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/articles\/competing-ai-strategies-for-the-us-and-china\/\">Chinese companies, including <strong><em>ByteDance<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>Alibaba<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>DeepSeek<\/em><\/strong>, and <strong><em>Manus<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, have pushed aggressively into the agentic AI market \u2014 but civilian government deployment lacks a centralized timetable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also smaller-scale efforts like Estonia\u2019s B\u00fcrokratt network, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deloitte.com\/us\/en\/insights\/industry\/government-public-sector-services\/government-trends\/2026\/agentic-ai-government-customized-service-delivery.html\">which connects AI agents across agencies<\/a> over shared digital identity infrastructure, and the UK\u2019s police-facing agent Bobbi<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/stories\/2026\/01\/the-new-era-of-public-sector-service-is-about-building-trust-through-agentic-ai\/\"> resolved 82% of inbound queries<\/a> without human escalation in its first week, according to a World Economic Forum analysis. No other country or government has set a binding national target at the UAE\u2019s scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike generative AI tools that respond to prompts, agentic systems receive goals and autonomously plan, access data, validate information, and execute multi-step workflows without human involvement at each stage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A World Economic Forum <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/stories\/2026\/01\/the-new-era-of-public-sector-service-is-about-building-trust-through-agentic-ai\/\">analysis from January 2026<\/a> found 90% of global respondents were willing to use an AI agent to interact with public services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Council on Foreign Relations <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfr.org\/articles\/how-2026-could-decide-future-artificial-intelligence\">has argued<\/a> that governments that build structured environments for agentic AI deployment stand to attract investment and set the governance template that other nations follow. <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalinterest.org\/blog\/techland\/the-agentic-ai-revolution-how-2026-will-reshape-technology-and-statecraft\"><strong><em>Gartner<\/em><\/strong> has estimated<\/a> that 40% of today\u2019s AI agents will not survive to 2027 \u2014 the same deadline the UAE has given itself to transform half its government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anything with the UAE is of interest, as the country of the coming Antichrist, and seven heads of the Beast in Revelation, and also home to the Abrahamic Family House.
