7/17/24, 1:42 PM SLC organises ‘Your Summer Legislation Boost 2024’ programme

H.E. Ahmad Saeed bin Meshar Al Muhairi, SLC Secretary General, stated: “By organising the third
edition of ‘Your Summer Legislation Boost’ Programme, we aim to shed light on the current state and
prospects of future technology from a legislative perspective. We strongly believe in the importance of

ensuring that legislative frameworks keep pace with the rapid advancements and align with Dubai’s and
the UAE’s ambitious visions and strategies. The growing role of advanced technology applications,
particularly artificial intelligence, and the expanding scope of their uses, present new opportunities for
development across various sectors. However, this also poses challenges in regulating the use of these

technologies, safeguarding the rights of individuals and institutions, and mitigating the risks associated
with the misuse of these technologies. This year, our Programme will extensively explore the connection
between technology and legislation through a series of workshops, sessions, visits, and other events
designed to enrich legal knowledge and enhance legislative awareness.”

Dr. Najat Al Amri, Assistant Legal Advisor, Head of the Infrastructure and Government Regulatory
Legislation Section at the SLC, and programme supervisor, emphasised that the “Your Summer
Legislation Boost Programme is a pioneering initiative aimed at increasing awareness of the latest

government strategies, which are crucial inputs for legislative work. This year’s edition focuses on
emerging technologies and their impact on the legislative system. Artificial intelligence will prominently
feature on the legislative agendas of countries in the near future, given the need to regulate its use
amidst its rapid growth potential.”

Dr. Al Amri highlighted the pivotal role of proactive legislative approaches in establishing a more flexible

and sustainable legislative system capable of keeping pace with the rapid developments witnessed
globally today.
