The missing piece in Dubai's AI strategy is talent

In May, Dubai announced a deadline for the private sector to adopt agentic AI within two years. Dubai Chambers has established an executive committee along with training programs, incubators, and funding initiatives to accelerate this process. This initiative is one of the region's most ambitious technology transformation programs, as agentic AI requires careful design and integration into existing systems. Engineers must define the boundaries of AI authority, making the recruitment of skilled engineers a significant challenge.
