The UAE uses artificial intelligence to write rules

For the first time in the UAE, the United Arab Emirates intends to use artificial intelligence to write new rules and review existing laws.

According to the Financial Times, artificial intelligence researchers say the UAE’s new design called “Artificial Intelligence Based Regulations” is beyond any other similar project.

Other governments also try to use artificial intelligence to make things more efficient, such as summarizing bill and improving public services, but the UAE wants to go one step further and use this technology to change current laws with the help of government and legal data analysis.

“This new legislative system, with the support of artificial intelligence, changes how the rules are set up and makes the process faster and more accurate,” says Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

Writing the rules with artificial intelligence in the UAE

“The United Arab Emirates is very serious about artificial intelligence,” says Abdul Khaliq Abdullah, an UAE political affairs expert. “It wants to be the World Center for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economics, as it is a global financial and logistics center.”

According to him, the country is investing extensively in digital infrastructure to be ahead of the next 50 years, as it has invested in its physical infrastructure over the past 50 years. It estimates that by 2030 the global market value of artificial intelligence will be $ 15 trillion and $ 700 million; Thus, the UAE GDP increases by 35 percent and government spending decreases by 50 %.

In 2017, the UAE appointed the world’s first artificial intelligence, Omar Sultan al -Alma. It now wants to use this technology in the legislation process. Instead of the traditional parliamentary model, where the laws are complicated in political debate over the years, the new approach will be faster, clearer and based on resolving real problems.

Artificial intelligence can analyze the rulings of courts, identify problems, and write laws that fill legal gaps. It can also read the best rules from all over the world and provide better versions to the UAE. According to experts, it is important for a country with only 10 % of its population to be transparent for a population of 200 different nationalities.
