Investment committees are being equipped with AI agents by Microsoft and G42 to scrutinize proposed deals and generate counterarguments, according to executives speaking at the Sharjah Investment Forum 2026. The technology offers committees extensive research and documentation to support their decision-making process. Maria Sanchez, senior vice-president of AI product delivery at G42's Inception, and Rima Semaan, chief solutions officer at Microsoft UAE, presented the development during a panel discussion titled "Powering Adaptive Economies with Agentic AI".
Human specialists then review AI-generated arguments for any factual errors or inappropriate use of information before incorporating them into the committee's deliberations. The AI agents assist in procurement processes by aiding stages between purchase requests and contract awards, such as checking budgets, drafting scopes of work, and suggesting criteria for assessing bids.
Employees can review, modify, or reject the AI's proposals. The executives emphasized the need for clear record-keeping, permissions, and independent review to maintain accountability, especially when dealing with financial and contractual decisions.
