The ‘Dubai Universal Blueprint for Artificial Intelligence’ is designed to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) applications. It seeks to achieve the targets of Dubai Economic Agenda D33 by contributing AED 100 billion annually to Dubai's economy, increasing its productivity by 50 per cent through the implementation of innovative digital solutions.

The plan serves as a roadmap for enhancing Dubai’s quality of life through AI by:

• incorporating AI across all strategic sectors
• providing the best environment for AI companies and global talent
• delivering superior government services through future technologies
• transforming Dubai into a global hub for AI governance and legislation.

The first phase of Dubai's annual plan to accelerate the adoption of AI includes:

• designating a chief executive officer for AI in each government entity in the emirate
• establishing AI and Web3 incubators
• implementing AI week in educational institutions
• introducing Dubai’s AI commercial licence
• allocating land for data centres

Dubai's annual plan to expedite the adoption of AI applications contributes to solidifying its status as a preferred destination for technology, innovation and AI companies.
