balance between the dissemination and exchange of information and maintaining its
confidentiality and privacy.

Al Olama reviewed the stages of the artificial intelligence strategy and the government’s

digital transformation in the UAE, noting that the country’s efforts began in 2002.

He added that the implementation of the artificial intelligence strategy is based on eight

objectives built around three primary pillars, executed over three phases: establishing a

strong foundation for artificial intelligence, adopting AI activities and initiatives, and leading

the sector globally, with each phase lasting between three to four years.
