The UAE may become the first country to use artificial intelligence to create new laws and update the current legislation, according to Financial Time.
The United Arab Emirates intends to use artificial intelligence to create new laws and update existing legislation. This is the most ambitious project of its kind in the world.
According to UAE Prime Minister Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the new system will make the lawmaking process faster and more accurate.
Last week, the government has already approved the creation of a special body - the Regulatory Intelligence Office which will be responsible for the implementation of AI in the lawmaking.
Artificial intelligence is expected to speed up the creation of laws by 70%.
For this purpose, it is planned to create a large-scale database covering all federal and local laws, court decisions, and information from public services. AI will analyze this data to propose changes to legislation and assess their impact on the economy and society.
The researchers emphasize that so far, no country has used AI to actively rewrite laws.
Globally, it is used mostly as a tool to help - for analysis or optimization.
However, experts also warn of risks. AI may generate unstable or even fictitious answers, and its logic may be incomprehensible to humans.
Oxford researcher Vincent Straub emphasizes that although the idea looks promising, it is dangerous to rely entirely on machines in the matter of legislation.
US President Donald Trump announced on January 21 that three leading companies would make large investments in artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Media reports say that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, and Oracle CEO Larry Ellison visited the White House to meet with Trump and other tech executives to announce large-scale private sector investments in the US AI infrastructure.
