The UAE government is implementing a plan to run 50% of its federal services using Agentic AI within two years, marking a global first. This initiative includes a control tower that monitors AI agents, logging their actions for accountability. The control tower requires each AI agent to connect and log its decision-making processes, ensuring oversight by both AI and human auditors. Experts believe this shift will transform the relationship between the government and its citizens, allowing for a more personalized service experience. The UAE's Minister of State for AI emphasized that the control tower will prevent agents from exceeding their authorized actions. This ambitious project is already underway, with initial AI agents deployed in various government sectors. The UAE aims to lead in generative AI use, with strong public adoption reported.
