Dubai Centre For Artificial Intelligence Launches Dubai AI Seal To Certify Trusted AI Companies

The Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI) has introduced the "Dubai AI Seal" to enhance trust in reputable artificial intelligence companies. This initiative aims to position Dubai as a global leader in AI. It was launched under the guidance of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, aligning with the "Dubai Universal Blueprint for AI".

By certifying trustworthy companies, the "Dubai AI Seal" fosters robust partnerships between government bodies and tech firms. This pioneering initiative creates a network of reliable companies that can be depended upon for secure and responsible AI solutions. Certified companies receive a unique serial number and classification.

To participate in UAE and Dubai government projects, companies must have the AI Seal certification. Certified firms can display the seal on their digital platforms and promotional materials, highlighting their reliability and credibility. All technology companies licensed in Dubai offering AI-related products or services are encouraged to apply without any fee.

Applications are assessed based on six key criteria: the nature of their activities and services, the number of employees specialising in AI, current and future projects, and partnerships within public and private sectors. This evaluation ensures that only qualified companies receive certification.

Khalfan Belhoul, CEO of Dubai Future Foundation, which oversees DCAI, stated, "This initiative will help create powerful partnerships between the public and private sectors, locally, regionally, and globally. It will help drive new economic opportunities by leveraging AI to better serve the economy, society, and the future we aspire to." The initiative highlights AI's economic significance and its potential to generate new job opportunities.

The "Dubai AI Seal" aims to provide an accessible method for verifying AI service providers while creating business opportunities for AI firms in Dubai. It also acknowledges the strategic importance of these companies to Dubai's economy. The initiative promotes stronger alliances between government entities and technology firms.

DCAI's Role in Advancing Technology

Launched at AREA2071 in Emirates Towers by H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, DCAI supports government entities in adopting advanced technologies. The centre focuses on developing legislation for AI applications, attracting global AI solutions, empowering national talent, and improving quality of life for Dubai’s residents through AI innovations.

This initiative underscores the potential of the AI sector to create new economic opportunities while enhancing societal benefits. By fostering collaboration between public and private sectors globally, it aims to leverage AI for economic growth and societal advancement.
