The UAE Cabinet has approved the creation of a new Regulatory Intelligence Office within the Cabinet and a new AI-powered integrated regulatory intelligence ecosystem to create a more agile legal system. Designed to monitor the impact of laws on the economy and society in real time, the AI ecosystem will recommend updates and reforms based on data analysis.

AI will help accelerate the legislative process by up to 70 percent, reducing the time and effort required for research, drafting, evaluation, and enactment of laws. The ecosystem will build a unified legislative map linking all federal and local laws with judicial rulings, executive procedures and public services. The initiative will connect to global research centres to align UAE laws with international best practices.

“This new legislative system, powered by artificial intelligence, will change how we create laws, making the process faster and more precise,” wrote His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on social media platform X. There are already a number of branches of the UAE judicial system that are introducing new AI systems and applications. However, this new move connects lawmakers directly with data and insights on the impact and effectiveness of laws.

Here are some key facts about today’s UAE Cabinet decision:

● Today’s weekly UAE Cabinet of Ministers meeting approved the creation of a new Regulatory Intelligence Office supported by a new AI-powered integrated regulatory intelligence ecosystem, in an initiative to create a more agile legal system. The news was announced via social media site x.com by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

● Harnessing AI, the new Legislative Intelligence Office will allow UAE ministers to track the daily impact of laws on people and the economy, suggesting updates to legislation informed by national and global data. The AI ecosystem will develop a centralised AI-based map of all national legislation.

● The Legislative Intelligence Office will integrate laws with court decisions, executive processes and public services, creating a dynamic legal framework responsive to real-world data.

● The AI system will assess the daily impact of legislation on the economy and society using big data analytics and propose timely amendments to inform Cabinet reviews and decisions.

● The government expects that AI will help accelerate the process of developing and enacting new laws by up to 70 percent.

● The office will also link to global policy research centres, allowing the UAE leadership to benchmark its legislation against international standards and adopt proven models.

● Sheikh Mohammed described the move as a “paradigm shift” that ensures the country’s legislative system keeps pace with rapid national development.

● The initiative is part of a broader push across the UAE to apply AI in government services, economic planning and infrastructure. The UAE judiciary and specialised courts have already invested heavily in AI.

● With AI expected to transform governance globally, and the government hopes that the UAE’s early investment in legal-tech will give it a strategic edge.

● The Legislative Intelligence Office and AI-powered integrated regulatory intelligence ecosystem promises more meaningful legislative accuracy, faster updates and more consistent alignment with the needs of citizens, businesses and public institutions.

The UAE is steadily building one of the most advanced AI-driven legal ecosystems globally. Through initiatives by the Ministry of Justice — such as the Virtual Legal Advisor and family law bots — the country is transforming legal services with practical, user-focused AI tools. In addition, last year the Ministry announced 'Aisha,' its first virtual employee operating with generative AI, able to converse with court users and provide them with the status and procedures of their transactions. These regulatory innovations not only enhances efficiency and transparency but also reinforces the UAE’s ambition to set new standards in AI governance and legal tech integration across public services.
