H.H. Sheikh Mohammed unveils AI-powered system to improve federal sector

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and the Ruler of Dubai, has announced the launch of an AI-powered system to measure performance in the federal sector.

In a post on social media platform X, Sheikh Mohammed said the Proactive Government Performance System will use AI algorithms to enhance government performance, improve service delivery, and achieve the strategic goals of the ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision.

By leveraging advanced AI-powered data analytics, predictive capabilities and in-depth analysis, the system will translate the vision's objectives into measurable and actionable results.

"Our belief remains: 'There may be no perfect system, but every system can be improved and developed'."
