The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority and the Digital Government Authority in the UAE have launched a unified central interface to assist government entities in harnessing the benefits of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI).
This initiative aims to enhance their ability to provide services that meet the expectations of individuals in the era of speed and artificial intelligence.
Interface Objectives
This central interface is part of an ambitious plan that includes a package of Generative AI services previously launched by His Excellency Talal Belhoul, Chairman of the Authority’s Board.
It includes the upgraded version of the unified digital portal for the government (U.ae) and the AI-supported Federal Digital Network.
This interface comes at a time of increasing interest in using Generative AI and other AI domains to enhance productivity and efficiency in government work.
It offers several benefits to government entities, including providing an approved mechanism to access Generative AI services and technical support related to the use of application programming interfaces to leverage Generative AI solutions.
Furthermore, it offers technical consultations on various use cases that align with regulations and policies, thus empowering government entities, ultimately resulting in enhanced customer satisfaction and improved government performance.

Majed Sultan Al Mesmar, Director-General of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority and the Digital Government Authority, stated, “Given the rapid technological transformations, it is crucial to demonstrate a high level of proactivity and innovation in implementing initiatives that promote efficiency and offer proactive solutions to drive the UAE’s leadership in adopting the concepts of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, with Artificial Intelligence at the forefront.”
