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.
