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.
