The United Arab Emirates is set to become the first country in the world to use artificial intelligence to write, review, and amend its laws.
The Gulf state will deploy AI to analyse the impact of legislation, suggest legal reforms, and speed up the lawmaking process by an estimated 70%. A new cabinet-level unit, the Regulatory Intelligence Office, has been set up to oversee the initiative.
Unlike other governments using AI to summarise bills or improve public services, the UAE’s system will proactively propose legal changes by drawing on a national database of legislation, court rulings, and government service data.
The move forms part of the UAE’s broader investment in AI, which includes MGX, a sovereign investment vehicle backing major projects such as BlackRock’s $30bn AI infrastructure fund.
While hailed as bold, the plan has raised questions about reliability, transparency, and bias. Experts warn that AI models still struggle with consistency and may produce results that make sense to machines but not to humans.
It is still unclear which AI system the UAE will use or how human oversight will be applied, but the initiative puts the country at the forefront of AI-driven governance globally.
