UAE deploys AI system to dramatically improve performance
New government performance system targets 250,000 saved hours per annum
#UAE #government - His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai has announced the world's first AI-powered Proactive Government Performance System, designed to revolutionise UAE government operations and deliver the strategic objectives of the 'We the UAE 2031' vision. Tracking over 150 million data points monthly, the system delivers advanced Ai analytics and predictive intelligence. The new system is expected to generate more than 50,000 proactive insights annually, and help the government achieve a projected 60% average improvement in performance, saving more than 250,000 man-hours per year.
SO WHAT? - The UAE government is at the forefront of leveraging new AI systems for improving government operations, strategy and delivery. The implementation of the AI-powered Proactive Government Performance System is a global first, with the UAE being the only nation to endeavour to transform decision-making, strategic planning and operations at a government-wide scale. The implementation of the new system could herald a new era for the public sector and serve as a blueprint for governments worldwide seeking to advance and optimise their capabilities.
Here are some key points about the new government performance system:
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai has announced the world's first AI-powered Proactive Government Performance System, aiming to enhance government performance, improve service delivery, and achieve the strategic goals of the ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision.
The system will process over 150 million data points monthly and provide government leadership with more than 50,000 proactive insights annually, supporting strategic decision-making through to operational performance across all government departments.
Performance improvements include measuring 45 times more results annually and increasing government entities' self-management capacity by 90% through automated monitoring and analysis capabilities.
The initiative is forecast to save over 250,000 hours per year, whilst supporting more than 250,000 users across the UAE's federal government structure and associated entities.
AI will enable predictive performance management, allowing government departments to anticipate challenges and opportunities before they materialise rather than responding reactively.
The system establishes seamless data integration across all government departments, ensuring real-time information flow for immediate results measurement and enhanced transparency in public administration.
Training programmes for 200 government employees in performance management and data analysis will build internal capacity to maximise the system's potential for continuous improvement.
Integration with the 'We the UAE 2031' vision ensures all government performance metrics align with the nation's long-term strategic objectives and measurable outcomes.
ZOOM OUT - The UAE has systematically advanced its AI-powered government capabilities over 16 years, evolving from the Adaa System in 2008 through successive generations to today’s AI-powered Proactive Government Performance System. The nation's comprehensive AI governance strategy includes the April launch of a Regulatory Intelligence Office, which aims to accelerate legislative processes by 70% and creates unified legislative mapping, plus the groundbreaking deployment of the National Artificial Intelligence System as an AI advisory member across all Cabinet meetings and federal entity boards from January 2026. The UAE is pioneering the next era of government administration, harnessing the latest AI to support government planning and decision-making, whilst continuing to build capacity at a human level.
