In line with the vision of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, the Ministerial Development Council has been renamed as the Ministerial Council for Artificial Intelligence and Development.

The Council will be chaired by His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Court. The decision reflects the UAE’s continued focus on placing artificial intelligence at the centre of government work and policy development.

Moreover, the change is part of a broader federal operating model. This model aims to shift 50 percent of government work sectors, services and operations within two years. These will adopt Agentic AI systems for more autonomous execution and decision-making.

In addition, the move supports the UAE Government’s goal to build a more efficient, agile and future-ready model. It is powered by innovation and advanced technologies. At the same time, it maintains a strong focus on improving quality of life.

The restructuring is also aligned with a two-year transformation plan toward Agentic AI in government operations. In this model, advanced artificial intelligence will strengthen decision-making. It will also improve policy implementation and accelerate service delivery in line with global technological progress.

Furthermore, the Ministerial Council for Artificial Intelligence and Development will oversee federal performance in delivering government policies and national priorities. It will review policies, legislation and strategies submitted by federal entities. Then, it will provide recommendations to the Cabinet to ensure alignment and faster execution.

The Council will also supervise plans, programmes and projects that expand the use of artificial intelligence across federal operations. This includes service development, process optimisation and improved public spending efficiency.

In addition, it will evaluate solutions aimed at enhancing service quality. It will also improve the experience of community members across key sectors such as healthcare, education, housing, infrastructure, transport, energy and telecommunications. These efforts are intended to enable faster and more efficient services.

Overall, the restructuring reinforces the UAE’s direction toward advanced governance systems. It highlights the growing role of artificial intelligence in shaping public services, policy execution and national development.
