UAE Plans to Use Autonomous AI for Half of Government Services by 2028

The United Arab Emirates plans to operate 50% of its government services using autonomous 'Agentic AI' by 2028, aiming to become the first country to govern at this scale with advanced AI systems. Agentic AI differs from traditional tools by independently managing tasks, workflows, and decisions with minimal human input. Officials say this shift will enhance service efficiency, accelerate decision-making, and improve citizen experiences by streamlining processes and reducing operational costs.
