MCIT, MOJ sign two agreements with Scale AI to develop solutions for justice sector

Doha, Qatar - The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), and AI firm Scale AI have inked two agreements to develop AI-driven solutions under the SAK and Shoor projects. These initiatives, aligned with the Digital Agenda 2030 (DA2030) goals, aim to boost the efficiency of justice-related services and elevate legal work tools within MOJ.

Eman Al Kuwari, Director of the Digital Innovation Department at MCIT, signed the agreements on behalf of MCIT. The SAK project agreement was signed by Arij Mohsen Al Shammari, Director of the Documentation Department and Head of External Centers at MOJ. Noor Al Zeinal, Assistant Director of the Litigation Affairs Department, signed the Shoor project agreement for MOJ. Scale AI's Regional Director in Qatar, Amr Samir, represented the tech company in the signing ceremony.

The Sakk project seeks to create an AI-powered solution to streamline notarization and authentication services at MOJ, improve procedure accuracy and speed, and simplify customer access. Meanwhile, the Shoor project will develop a digital platform to assist MOJ lawyers in managing state cases and conducting legal research, by providing access to and analysis of legal information. This will enhance legal work efficiency and support timely task completion.

Both agreements are part of the Government AI Program led by MCIT, and extend the strategic partnership established between MCIT and Scale AI in February 2025. Over a five-year period, the partnership aims to launch more than 50 AI-powered projects across various government entities by 2029. The "Alif" program under this partnership focuses on building AI capabilities among government employees.

These projects build upon the existing cooperation between MCIT, MOJ, and Scale AI in the legal sector, including the development of the "Smart Legislative Advisor" program. This initiative aims to reduce the legislative processing and review period from around 35 days to about five days, while maintaining human oversight and professional legal accountability.
