AI to help Abu Dhabi Police detect traffic violations, security threats

From real-time detection of traffic violations to ChatGPT-like digital assistants, policing in the UAE capital will soon get an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered boost. A partnership agreement between the Abu Dhabi Police and big data analytics company Presight will help develop AI technologies for law enforcement. 'The main problems targeted include enhancing officer response speed, supporting smarter and faster decision-making, modernising investigative methods, and increasing the overall security of Abu Dhabi,' Mohammed AlMheiri, Chief Business Officer — Public Safety & Security, Presight, told Khaleej Times in an interview. 'While detailed KPIs are still under development, key indicators are likely to include improved emergency response times, measurable reductions in crime rates, (and) accuracy of real-time threat detection," he added. Intelligent systems will also enable digital forensics and predictive analytics. Major-General Nasir Sultan Al Yabhouni, Director of the Leadership Affairs Sector at Abu Dhabi Police, said, 'This collaboration supports our efforts to maintain public safety through innovation, which means strengthening our officers' ability to respond faster, make smarter decisions, and make Abu Dhabi a safer and more secure place.' A key part of the collaboration is Presight's AI-Policing Suite — a solution that leverages generative AI, AI agents, and advanced data analytics. It offers a 'unified ecosystem that consolidates diverse, multi-source data to empower officers with faster, more precise, and proactive policing capabilities,' according to AlMheiri. He explained its key features, among which are: Traffic control module: Real-time detection of traffic violations (speeding, red-light, illegal turns, helmet/seatbelt usage), incident monitoring, and congestion management. Law enforcement platform: With over 150 AI models, it enables intelligent search, profiling, relationship mapping, and predictive analytics to identify suspects and forecast crime hotspots. Detective assistant: It is powered by generative AI that interacts with investigators through natural, intuitive dialogue. IoT Intelligence: Leverages real-time sensor data across urban and public environments for anomaly detection, environmental monitoring (pollutants, smoke, vape), access control, intrusion detection, and audio threat recognition (glass breaking, gunshots, distress calls). Digital assistants 'Presight's AI agents and generative AI act as always-on digital assistants, empowering law enforcement with rapid data analysis, automated investigative support, and proactive threat identification. For example, an AI agent may synthesize evidence from multiple sources within seconds, or trigger alerts to officers about emerging risks in specific locations,' said AlMheiri. 'Real-world use cases include predictive policing for high-risk zones, AI-assisted evidence triage, and digital briefings for real-time operations.' The AI systems will be deployed in phases, starting with targeted use cases to allow for focused refinement. When asked how personal data will be handled and protected under the initiative, he explained: 'Our systems are designed with state-of-the-art security measures and strict data privacy protocols in line with UAE federal regulations and best practices.' The Abu Dhabi Police have been using AI to detect traffic violations for several years. In June, an Abu Dhabi Police official explained how artificial intelligence is already embedded in the emirate's traffic systems, and how it's reducing accidents before they happen. The force has previously highlighted how AI has helped reduce traffic offences in the UAE Capital.

HUMAIN deploys OpenAI's latest open-source models on Groq platform inside Saudi Arabia

RIYADH — Saudi Arabia's HUMAIN has fully deployed OpenAI's new open-source models — gpt-oss-120B and gpt-oss-20B — on Groq's ultra-high-speed inference platform. The models are hosted within HUMAIN's sovereign AI data centers inside the Kingdom, ensuring full compliance with local regulatory and data sovereignty frameworks. The deployment delivers OpenAI's most advanced open-source capabilities to Saudi developers, enterprises, and public institutions, offering high-speed, low-latency inference while maintaining alignment with the Kingdom's legal and privacy standards. The gpt-oss-120B and gpt-oss-20B models offer unprecedented scale, 128K context windows, and built-in tools for real-time code execution and semantic search. Running at over 500 and 1,000 tokens per second respectively on Groq's infrastructure, they enable advanced reasoning and dialogue at previously unmatched speeds. 'This is a defining moment for Saudi Arabia,' said Tareq Amin, CEO of HUMAIN. 'By hosting the world's most powerful open models locally, we are enabling Saudi innovators to access frontier AI with full sovereignty. This is what AI leadership looks like.' Jonathan Ross, CEO of Groq, added: 'Groq was built to run models like this fast, affordably, and at scale. Our partnership with HUMAIN puts us at the center of one of the most ambitious AI ecosystems globally.' The announcement marks a new phase in the strategic collaboration between HUMAIN and Groq, first revealed in May 2025. It positions Saudi Arabia as a vital global corridor for AI innovation, linking compute, compliance, and capability across the GCC, the Levant, Africa, Asia, and beyond. By ensuring that all data and inference operations occur within national borders, the deployment empowers local institutions to adopt world-class AI without compromising on privacy, compliance, or latency. © Copyright 2022 The Saudi Gazette.
