Held under the theme "Shaping Future Governments", the Summit saw global experts and decision-makers from around the globe to share policies, and models that are essential in shaping future governments.

Meanwhile, the UAE has been a leading example in harnessing technology to shape its future direction and policies. 

That's according to the President of Global Affairs for Meta and Former Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Nick Clegg, speaking at the session "AI-augmented Governance: Responsibility and Accountability" with His Excellency Omar Sultan Al Olama, UAE Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications.

He says the country has struck a perfect balance between technological optimism and realism in its future strategies for the country's progress.
