The General Secretariat of the Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai (SLC) is set to
launch the third edition of the ‘Your Summer Legislation Boost 2024’ Programme under the theme
‘Navigating Future Technology: AI and Legislation.’ Running from July 18 to August 22, 2024, the
Programme will feature a series of interactive panel discussions, knowledge-sharing sessions, and
legal workshops centered on the intersection of future technology and legislation.
This year’s Programme aims to enhance legislative work in alignment with Dubai’s future technological
directions. Key components include field visits and panel discussions to gather insights for improving
legislative frameworks, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI). The Programme will also
host legal workshops on critical topics such as the role of AI in healthcare, advancements in legislative
translation processes, potential legal challenges associated with AI, and protective measures against
the misuse of deepfake technology.
H.E. Ahmad Saeed bin Meshar Al Muhairi, SLC Secretary General, commented:
"The third edition of the ‘Your Summer Legislation Boost’ Programme aims to
illuminate the current and future state of technology from a legislative
perspective. We are committed to ensuring that our legislative frameworks
evolve alongside technological advancements, in line with Dubai’s and the
UAE’s ambitious visions and strategies. The rise of advanced technologies,
particularly AI, presents new developmental opportunities across various
sectors but also introduces challenges in regulation, individual rights
protection, and risk mitigation. Our Programme will thoroughly explore these
dynamics through a series of enriching workshops, sessions, and visits."
Dr. Najat Al Amri, Assistant Legal Advisor and Programme Supervisor, emphasized:
"The ‘Your Summer Legislation Boost Programme’ is a pioneering initiative
designed to raise awareness of the latest government strategies, serving as
crucial inputs for legislative work. This year’s focus on emerging technologies
and their legislative impact is particularly timely. AI will play a prominent role in
future legislative agendas, necessitating proactive regulatory approaches to
manage its rapid growth and potential."
