Cabinet has given the green light to a new AI-driven regulatory system aimed at transforming how legislation is developed and implemented, Wam reports, citing a statement by Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum on X. The system will use artificial intelligence to build a unified national legislative database, integrating federal and local laws with court rulings, executive procedures, and public services.

Cabinet also approved the creation of the Regulatory Intelligence Office under the Cabinet’s General Secretariat, which will oversee the system’s design, rollout, and coordination with local, federal, and private stakeholders.

How will it work? The AI-based system will analyze data to monitor how legislation affects the economy and society in real time, while also tracking global legislative developments. It will identify legal gaps or inconsistencies and recommend necessary updates. The use of AI is expected to speed up the legislative process by up to 70%, reducing the time and effort needed for research, drafting, and review.
