The UAE Cabinet has approved numerous initiatives to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into government operations and education. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, revealed the launch of the Agentic AI project, aiming to significantly improve government services. The project comprises 32 specialized AI assistants that aid ministers in making quicker, more accurate decisions and evaluating policies and legislation.
One of the crucial outcomes from the meeting was the introduction of an AI curriculum for all public and private schools in the UAE. This curriculum will provide students with technical knowledge about AI, its ethical applications, and understanding of AI data, algorithms, applications, and risks. The goal is to train 22,000 teachers and educators to utilize AI in teaching, assessment, curriculum analysis, lesson planning, and fostering innovation among students.
Additionally, the Cabinet approved the National Ecotourism Policy and reviewed the progress of the National Strategy to Combat Desertification 2022-2030, which has successfully increased protected areas, rehabilitated land, added green cover, and tagged and protected native trees. The UAE also introduced a resolution on the use of autonomous vehicles, establishing mechanisms and controls for inspecting, registering, licensing, and renewing autonomous vehicles.
This is expected to encourage the use of environmentally friendly technologies, reduce road pollution, and congestion.
