Dubai mandates private-sector agentic AI adoption within two years with incubators, training, and dedicated funds
Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan has launched a two-year initiative to transition the emirate’s entire private sector to agentic AI, with training tracks for all business councils, government-funded incubators, and dedicated investment funds administered through the Dubai Chamber of Commerce. It follows the UAE cabinet’s April directive to deliver 50 per cent of federal government services through autonomous AI agents by 2028, making Dubai the first city to issue an explicit private-sector AI adoption mandate with a deadline.
