The UAE launches the world's first AI-based legislative system

The United Arab Emirates will be the first country in the world to implement artificial intelligence in the process of creating and amending legislation.

State media refer to this initiative as "AI-based regulation." While other countries use technology to improve efficiency—from analyzing bills to optimizing public services—the UAE intends to leverage artificial intelligence to actively amend existing laws based on the analysis of government and legal data.

The new AI-based system will make lawmaking faster and more accurate.

Additionally, the UAE plans to create a large-scale database that will consolidate federal and local laws, court decisions, and information on public services. Based on this data, artificial intelligence will be able to regularly propose legislative updates and predict necessary changes.

Authorities expect AI to accelerate the lawmaking process by 70%. However, experts warn of potential risks. The logic of such systems remains opaque to users, and the models themselves are prone to errors and "hallucinations." At the same time, analysts acknowledge the project's potential—both in forecasting legislative changes and in reducing costs for legal services.
