I am proud to share that the #UAE is setting a new global benchmark as the first government to deploy #Agentic AI at scale across its public sector. Under the visionary leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, we are embarking on a bold transformation to integrate Agentic AI into 50% of government services and operations. This shift moves us beyond simple automation toward proactive systems capable of independent thinking, planning, and execution. The first phase is already underway, targeting critical sectors: Procurement & Tax Audit for unmatched efficiency. Customer Happiness & Technical Support to elevate service quality. As we lead this transition with over 400 ministers and senior officials, our goal remains clear: to build a model that will inspire the world and use technology to enhance the quality of life for all. The gap between early adopters and others is widening—the UAE is choosing to lead. #GovTech #AgenticAI #UAE #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #GCIO #FutureOfGovernment
Ali Katkhada Very inspiring milestone, Ali. The UAE is clearly moving beyond traditional digital transformation into a new phase where AI becomes part of the operational fabric of government itself. What makes this particularly powerful is the combination of leadership vision, institutional commitment, governance, and execution at scale. The focus on procurement, audit, customer experience, and operational efficiency shows how Agentic AI is being applied to real, measurable public sector outcomes.
Scaling Agentic AI across government functions could become a defining case study in future public sector innovation.
The UAE is moving from AI adoption to AI-native governance. The infrastructure powering this shift will become as strategic as energy. 🇦🇪
Proud to see the UAE consistently setting the global benchmark for execution. Excellent breakdown, Ali Katkhada
Impressive vision and execution, Ali! Setting the bar high for proactive governance.
Ali, this is a landmark moment — and it deserves to be understood beyond the technology headline. The UAE deploying Agentic AI across 50% of government operations is not just a GovTech story. It is a sovereignty play. A nation that automates procurement, tax audit, and public services at this scale is compressing the cost of governance dramatically — freeing up human capital and fiscal resources for higher-order strategic priorities. That is a compounding advantage over time. The geopolitical dimension is significant too. The UAE is essentially signalling to the world that it intends to be the most efficient state actor in the region — and efficiency at government level translates directly into competitiveness for business, investment, and talent attraction. For India, this is worth watching closely. India's own Digital Public Infrastructure — UPI, Aadhaar, ONDC — has shown what state-level technology adoption at scale can unlock. The India-UAE tech corridor is now potentially the most consequential bilateral digital partnership in the emerging world. The gap between early adopters and others isn't just widening — it may soon become structural. 🇮🇳🇦🇪
