UAE is betting big on AI. Recently, the nation revealed that it will be using artificial intelligence to write its laws. Becoming the first nation to do so, the nation just approved the Regulatory Intelligence Office for the UAE. This comes after the UAE appointed its AI minister back in 2017 and are now moving forward with their Regulatory Intelligence Office to aid in the process of writing new federal and local laws as well as reviewing and amending existing legislation and other procedures.

According to The Telegraph, the effort to digitize the Gulf state to streamline the legislative process will see the office be responsible for implementing, coordinating and designing how AI’s regulatory system would work. As per government officials in the region, the laws, as well as judicial rulings and other executive procedures and public services will all be written by the AI system created.

According to Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, “This new legislative system, powered by artificial intelligence, will change how we create laws, making the process faster and more precise.” AI is expected to have a global market value of $15.7 trillion USD by 2030 and with the help of AI, it is expected to reduce government costs by 50%.
