Justify the Spending: UAE to Write Government Laws for the First Time in History by AI
The United Arab Emirates is set to harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to draft new legislation and review and amend existing laws, in the Gulf state's most radical attempt yet to harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI). technology, into which it has invested billions of dollars. The country's leadership sees only this opportunity to justify the spending. This is reported by the Financial Times.
The plan for what state media has called the first “AI-powered regulation” in human history goes further than anything else being created in this space. No doubt other countries and governments are trying to use AI to become more efficient, using billing aggregation, improving public service delivery, but not to actively propose changes to existing laws by processing government and legal data.
This new AI-powered legislative system will change the way we make laws, making the process faster and more accurate.
- Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai and vice president of the UAE, said in a statement quoted by state media.
The fund, dedicated to the development of AI in the UAE, has already invested more than $30 billion, so the attempt to prove the effectiveness of the investment is very demonstrative and urgent.
The government expects AI to speed up lawmaking by 70%, according to a cabinet report. But independent researchers have noted that it could face many challenges and pitfalls. These range from AI becoming incomprehensible to its users, to biases caused by its artificially trained skills, and questions about whether AI interprets laws in the same way as humans.
