The Federal National Council (FNC) in the UAE has adopted recommendations aimed at enhancing the government's artificial intelligence (AI) policy. These recommendations focus on updating legislation related to data protection and governance, ensuring a balance between data sharing and privacy. Additionally, the FNC emphasized the need for a unified platform for open data sharing and support for AI startups through financing and technical assistance.
The recommendations also highlight the importance of public-private partnerships in AI research and development, which are expected to improve the implementation of the UAE's AI strategy.
