including strategies to enhance Dubai's preparedness for the future and securing its place at the global
forefront in AI by developing adaptable legislation that supports growth. Additionally, discussions during
these sessions delved into the crucial role of legislation in empowering talents, fostering sustainable
development, and facilitating the establishment of AI startups. Participants also discussed regulatory

frameworks aimed at protecting personal data and ensuring ethical, secure, and transparent use of AI.
Another key aspect addressed was the issue of determining liability for any damage or harm caused by
the use of AI and the decisions made based on smart systems.
