Summary

On April 14, 2025, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) announced a plan to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to write new laws and revise existing legislation. Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Dubai ruler and UAE vice-president said: “This new legislative system, powered by artificial intelligence, will change how we create laws, making the process faster and more precise.” A new cabinet unit, the Regulatory Intelligence Office, was created to oversee the legislative AI initiative. According to the press release, the UAE plans to use AI to build a legal database which, alongside other data such as court judgments and government services, tracks how laws affect the society. In turn, AI would suggest legislative updates. Officials project that the AI-driven system could accelerate the legislation cycle by up to 70%.
