        ‘Legislative Week’ in strengthening Dubai's position as a global hub for innovation and technology. “This can
        be achieved by exploring avenues for establishing a comprehensive legislative ecosystem that nurtures

        innovation and supports the use of AI across various sectors,” said Al Muhairi, adding: “The event provided
        an invaluable platform for identifying the legal challenges facing regulating AI adoption, and underscored the

        importance of devising clear strategies to enhance data security and protect individual rights in the AI era,
        with a view to driving Dubai's ambitious vision to establish itself as a pioneer in this domain”.



        The first day of the ‘Legislative Week’ 2024 featured a series of keynote speeches including “Convergence:

        How the UAE and Dubai are Creating AI Policy and Legislation for Global Interoperability and High-value
        Innovation,” “AI Ethics in the Legislative Ecosystem,” “Medical AI in the Balance: Unlocking Potential While
        Navigating Legal Boundaries,” and “The Impact of AI Systems on Service Contracts.”



        The ‘Legislative Week’ also featured the ‘Legislative Lab’, comprised of brainstorming sessions with

        representatives from various government entities. These sessions explored a wide range of topics, 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.



        The conclusion of the sixth edition of the ‘Legislative Week’ 2024 resulted in a set of practical
        recommendations focused on developing a legislative structure that aligns with the advancements in AI.
        Participants emphasised the importance of fostering collaboration between the government and private

        sectors to develop a legal ecosystem that embraces cutting-edge innovations and future market trends.
        These legislative awareness events are aligned with Dubai's ongoing efforts to solidify its status as a premier

        hub for innovation by leveraging advanced technology and AI applications, with the ultimate objective of
        driving sustainable development and envisioning and shaping a promising future.
