Designing AI-Enabled Regulation for the Governments of the Future
PwC Middle East and the UAE Government are shaping a new global model for intelligence-led regulation through a landmark partnership.
Governments around the world are under growing pressure to regulate faster, more coherently and with greater confidence, while keeping pace with rapid technological, economic and societal change. Traditional “regulate-and-forget” approaches are slow to enable change for this environment.
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, the UAE Government announced a strategic partnership with PwC Middle East and launched The UAE: Shaping the Future of Regulatory Intelligence, a white paper co-authored with PwC Legal Middle East, providing a road map for the shift from static rulebooks to a living, AI-powered regulatory ecosystem.

The white paper sets out how data, artificial intelligence and governance can be embedded across the full regulatory lifecycle - from drafting and implementation to monitoring and review. It shows how fragmented laws and policies can be connected through a unified regulatory knowledge framework, enabling clearer regulation, faster policy cycles and more informed decision-making. Crucially, the model is built around strong safeguards to ensure AI supports - not replaces - human judgment, accountability and public trust.
Developed through close collaboration between government, legal and technology experts, the white paper offers a scalable reference point for governments globally seeking to modernise regulation responsibly.
