At Scale, their mission is to create dependable AI systems for crucial decisions faced by the world. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has embraced this challenge as a cornerstone of their vision for the future, and the company shares this belief in the potential of AI to enhance institutions, boost economies, and generate opportunities for future generations.

On the occasion of the Dubai AI Festival, Scale formally established its presence in the UAE, hosting operations in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). This marks a significant milestone in their ongoing efforts in the country.

Scale collaborates with leading AI research labs globally, developing rigorous evaluations and benchmarks to assess the performance of advanced models. They aim to apply the same meticulous approach when working with UAE institutions. Their systems are designed to function reliably in Arabic, comply with local governance regulations, and empower people to maintain control over AI systems.

This translates to: Scale has already demonstrated this capability in Qatar, where they have trained or upskilled nearly 6,000 individuals, and their applications are now being utilized by the public.

DIFC is instrumental in turning the UAE's AI aspirations into reality. The Dubai AI Campus, inaugurated in 2024 as part of the Dubai Universal Blueprint for Artificial Intelligence, and its dedicated AI License facilitate the establishment of technology companies in Dubai. Scale expresses its gratitude for DIFC's support and is proud to be located in an ecosystem set up with such clear intent.

The UAE has prioritized AI at the national level and is laying the groundwork for its success through its National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2031. This strategy encompasses objectives for improved public services, a flourishing AI ecosystem, skilled workforce, and robust governance frameworks grounded in principles of safety, privacy, transparency, human oversight, and accountability. These principles serve as the bedrock for AI systems that gain public trust.

At Scale, they view sovereignty as having control and choice over data, model deployment, governance, and the ability to adapt or modify systems as requirements change. Their responsibility is to assist UAE institutions in preserving this control as they transform their ambitions into dependable AI services. By establishing their entity in DIFC, Scale secures a permanent presence in the UAE, reinforcing their commitment to partnering with UAE institutions, partners, and talent for years to come.

They are eager to assist in building AI systems that the country's institutions can trust and that its citizens can rely upon with confidence. For those in the UAE engaging in AI development, whether in government, enterprises, or as engineers seeking employment, Scale encourages reaching out to match their project with the appropriate experts.
