Sheikh Salem also affirmed the importance of the recently announced policy for the

preservation of modern architectural heritage.

Formally launched last month by the ministry, some of the initial measures involve protecting the

UAE’s modern architectural buildings and cataloguing landmarks of significant cultural
importance in terms of heritage and national identity.

“In bridging the past and the present, we must embrace both historical landmarks and modern
heritage,” he said.

“At the same time, the UAE is advancing strategies to preserve modern architectural heritage
through collaboration with academic institutions and the private sector.”

As for the role of AI in the cultural space, whether through practice or policy, Sheikh Salem
stated it is an important tool for preserving and protecting culture and creative rights, as well as

sparking inspiration in the digital landscape.

“The UAE's AI strategy stands as a blueprint for integrating artificial intelligence into various

sectors, including culture, where the protection of creatives is always a priority,” he said.
