The UAE Cabinet, chaired by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, has greenlit a groundbreaking AI-based legal system to revolutionize the justice sector.

This initiative, announced on April 20, 2025, aligns with the UAE’s vision to lead in smart governance and technological innovation.

The new system aims to streamline judicial processes, boost efficiency, and ensure fairness by leveraging artificial intelligence.

It will assist in case management, legal research, and decision-making support, reducing human error and expediting resolutions.

The AI framework will adhere to UAE laws, prioritizing transparency, accountability, and ethical standards.

Sheikh Mohammed emphasized that the system will enhance access to justice, stating, “Our goal is a future-ready judiciary that serves all with speed and precision.”

The initiative includes collaboration with global tech leaders and local judicial bodies to ensure seamless integration and compliance with international best practices.

This move cements the UAE’s position as a global hub for AI innovation, following its earlier adoption of AI in healthcare, education, and public services.

The Cabinet also approved training programs for judges and legal professionals to adapt to the AI-driven system, ensuring a smooth transition.
