In April this year, the agency launched an AI Integration Matrix framework, leveraging it to guide the deployment of over 100 AI systems to reduce redundancy. Its Dubai Population Now platform integrates multi-source data from sectors including residency, transportation, and healthcare to estimate the population in real time.

The Dubai government has also stated that AI-driven governance initiatives are expected to drive over 10 billion dirhams (approximately $2.72 billion) in GDP growth within two years of implementation.
