In his capacity as Ruler of Abu Dhabi, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, has issued a resolution to reconstitute the Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Technology Council (AIATC). The council will be chaired by HH Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, with HH Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan serving as Vice-Chairman.
The reconstitution includes the appointment of HE Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, HE Dr Ahmed Mubarak bin Nawi Al Mazrouei, HE Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, HE Jassem Mohamed Bu Ataba Al Zaabi, HE Mohamed Hassan Al Suwaidi, HE Faisal Abdulaziz Al Bannai, and Peng Xiao as council members.
Established in January 2024, the AIATC is responsible for regulating, implementing, and developing policies and strategies related to artificial intelligence and advanced technologies in Abu Dhabi. The council aims to position Abu Dhabi as a global leader in AI and advanced technology by fostering research, investments, and collaborations with local and international partners.
This move aligns with Abu Dhabi’s broader strategy to enhance its digital landscape and economy. The emirate has been actively investing in AI initiatives, including the establishment of the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence and the launch of the $100 billion MGX fund targeting AI investments globally.
