The third edition of the Programme will feature field visits and panel discussions aimed at identifying key
inputs to improve legislative work in line with Dubai’s future directions, particularly in the field of future

technology. Additionally, the Programme features various legal workshops designed to highlight the pivotal
role of legislation in facilitating the adoption of future technologies, and the role of artificial intelligence in
healthcare and in advancing the legislation translation process. The Programme will also include workshops

on ‘Potential Legal Challenges of Using AI and Ways to Address Them,’ and ‘Deepfake Technology: Risks
and Protection Against Misuse.’

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.”
