UAE government to save 3 billion USD using AI and Blockchain

The UAE government is expected to save $3 billion (AED11bn) in economic return and 389 million in government documents per year, thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain.

The technologies are two of the most powerful tools revolutionizing the UAE’s pace of innovation, according to the country’s minister of AI, who gave a keynote speech on the UAE Blockchain Strategy 2021 at the Future Blockchain Summit.

“With the combined power of AI and blockchain, the UAE government stands to save AED11 billion in economic return and 389 million in government documents alone per year,” said Omar bin Sultan Al Olama. He added that AI will be a strong ally for blockchain, and will play a pivotal role in the 2021 strategy.

“It will help in the formation of the blockchain government, identify business process reengineering within organizations, enhance federal regulations and enable efficient monitoring of processes and systems,” he said.
