“This agreement marks a major step forward for UAEAA as it enables the deeper proliferation of advanced technologies, especially AI, to boost cybersecurity, ensure data protection, and improve the accuracy of auditing processes across all entities under the Authority,” said Haifa Al Shimmari, Head of Corporate Support Sector at UAEAA. “Going further, the collaboration will play an important role in enhancing the skills of national talent and equipping them with the tools needed to perform their duties with efficiency and excellence.”
