Flying taxis? AI governments? The capital is well on its way to having it all! Abu Dhabi has announced plans to become the world’s first fully Al-native government across all digital services by 2027.
Over 5,000 jobs will be created by the 2025-2027 Digital Strategy, which will allocate AED 13 billion for digital infrastructure, and contribute over AED 24 billion to the capital’s GDP.
The target is for 100 per cent of government processes to be digitalised and automated.
