AI regulation in United Arab Emirates
The UAE has an active national AI strategy and free-zone-specific initiatives (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) but no single binding cross-sector AI statute identified at federal level.

AIC has verified United Arab Emirates's regulatory position — the status, the instrument and the administering body above are checked against primary sources. What is not here is the clause-by-clause breakdown of what the instrument requires, because we have not done that work for this jurisdiction yet.
We would rather leave that visible than write a plausible-sounding summary nobody checked. If United Arab Emirates matters to your organisation, tell us and it moves up the queue.
This page is a general orientation guide built from public sources, not legal advice, and it does not establish that any organisation complies with United Arab Emirates's requirements. AIC certifies governance against its own published standard; that is a different question from legal compliance, and neither substitutes for the other. Back to the map.
