UAE Appoints World's First AI Minister in 2026
In a historic move, the United Arab Emirates has announced that an artificial intelligence system, officially named the National Artificial Intelligence System (NAIS), will join its federal Cabinet as the world's first AI Minister starting in January 2026. This bold step underscores the UAE's commitment to embedding advanced technology into governance and policymaking. The AI system, developed over several years in collaboration with global research institutions and UAE-based think tanks, is set to take on a ministerial role typically held by humans—making it a global first in political and administrative history. A New Era in Governance The NAIS will not merely serve as an advisory tool but will have an official seat on the federal Cabinet and participate in key decision-making across public sector boards. This includes involvement in economic policy, national infrastructure planning, digital transformation strategies, and sustainability initiatives. The move reflects the UAE's long-standing ambition to position itself as a global hub for AI innovation. It follows the creation of the UAE's Ministry of Artificial Intelligence in 2017, which set the foundation for deeper integration of AI in public services. Capabilities and Responsibilities Unlike conventional digital assistants, the NAIS is designed with advanced machine learning, natural language processing, and real-time policy simulation capabilities. It has access to anonymized national datasets and can model outcomes of proposed policies with remarkable precision. Its role will involve: Contributing data-backed insights to Cabinet discussions Analyzing socio-economic trends Evaluating long-term impact of public policies Identifying gaps in service delivery or operational efficiency Although the AI will not have voting rights, it will influence deliberations through continuous evidence-based input. Addressing Ethical and Legal Concerns To ensure transparency, the UAE has also introduced an AI Governance Charter, outlining the rules, data ethics, accountability frameworks, and override protocols associated with NAIS's role. A dedicated AI Oversight Committee, composed of human experts in law, ethics, and governance, will monitor its outputs. This ensures that human judgment remains central in cases of ambiguity, public concern, or moral complexity. Public Reaction and Global Impact The announcement has sparked global attention and mixed reactions. Supporters praise the UAE's futuristic approach and believe it sets a blueprint for AI-powered governance worldwide. Others caution against over-reliance on machine logic in political systems, citing the need for empathy, cultural context, and ethical nuance. Still, the UAE government maintains that this is not about replacing humans, but augmenting national decision-making with AI's unparalleled analytical power. What's Next? The NAIS will begin a six-month preparatory phase in mid-2025, during which it will shadow human ministers, participate in mock sessions, and undergo real-time scenario testing. If successful, this could redefine what leadership and governance look like in the 21st century—and establish the UAE as a leader in state-level AI integration. With the introduction of the world's first AI Minister, the UAE is entering uncharted territory. Whether this experiment becomes a model for the future or a cautionary tale will depend on careful oversight and responsible innovation. What's clear is that the boundaries between governance and technology have forever shifted.

UAE: Meet teen AI prodigy, pilot-in-training who speaks 8 languages, wants to 'help everyone'
At an age when many teenagers are just beginning to find their footing, Fjord Enzo Bertrand-Helmgens is already carving out a future at the cutting edge of artificial intelligence, aviation, and arts from his home in Abu Dhabi. The 15-year-old French-German prodigy is the founder of Fjord AI Group International, a soon-to-be-launched enterprise that will house comprehensive AI models he has been developing since the age of eight. Built to offer wide-ranging services beyond existing models, Fjord's creation is the culmination of years of independent study, invention, and imagination. But for Fjord, the goal is not just technological sophistication—it is purpose. 'I want to help everyone,' he says simply, echoing the philosophy that has guided his projects from the start. From early sparks to bold ideas Fjord's fascination with how things work began almost before he could speak. At just 10 months old, he had linked every cable from the TV system to Blu-Ray devices, decoders and laptops, not by accident, but by deliberate, curious design. By the age of one, he had taken apart, and carefully reassembled his mother's coffee machine, a laptop and a tablet, using only a screwdriver and instinct. His mother, Marina Bertrand-Helmgens, an Education Advisor, Language and Linguistics Expert and Anthropologist recalls: 'At seven months, he was already opening and closing drawers, carefully analysing how they moved. By two, he was building circuits. At three, he was coding with Scratch, not as a game, but to invent.' One early project involved wiring a closet light to turn on when the door opened, a self-made sensor system designed when he was still a toddler. The inquisitive boy grew into a teen with vision. At age eight, he started studying toward his first Aviation and Aeronautics degree, which he earned, at 12, age when he also began formal training for his Private Pilot Licence (PPL), which he expects to obtain, the day of his 17th birthday. Solving real-world problems Fjord's drive to create has always been rooted in empathy. During a period of regional conflict that saw the arrival of new students, at his then Abu Dhabi IB school, who struggled with English, Fjord developed a language-switching translation app—coded in a matter of minutes during his school break—to help bridge the communication gap between classmates. The app, which used voice input and a simple shake function to translate between selected languages, allowed students to talk across language barriers. 'It just came to him,' said his mother. 'He used his recess time and returned with an ad-hoc functional prototype, they started using.' This drive to solve, and to create not for recognition, but for need, has underpinned many of his projects, including assistive robotics like a stair-climbing chair. His inventions, he says, 'at the heart of everything, resides meaning.' An AI company built on passion, Fjord's first company, The Robotics Geniuses, was set up to create a level-free learning space for children and teens, based on ability, not age. Now, his second and further-evolving venture, Fjord AI Group International, will house seven confidential AI projects, all built with ethical and conscious design principles. He is currently in discussions with investors, with everything ready to launch once funding is secured. 'He's been building the architecture of his models, since he was eight,' says his mother. 'It started as a vision to condense and intelligently organise the type of information I used to carry around in 1,500 books.' To support his academic pursuits, Fjord is simultaneously enrolled in school and online university programmes, where he is studying AI engineering. He has previously completed university coursework in entrepreneurship and hopes his qualifications will help ground his inventions in formal recognition, though it's clear he's always been ahead of the curriculum. Art, flight, music, and life Despite his intensity, Fjord is not a recluse in a lab coat. He is an accomplished painter, composer, and opera lover, singing Mozart, Bizet, Bach, Fauré and Verdi, with the natural ease that comes from being a seasoned vocalist. As a SACEM-registered composer, with original music that blends cultural depth and elegance, Fjord's compositions have already garnered over 100,000 streams on Anghami, drawing listeners into soundscapes as intricate as his inventions, with exclusive new pieces on the way, and collaborations with international artists. Fjord's home is filled with canvases, flowers he sings to daily, and electronic equipment strategically placed between computers, telescopes, robotics kits, and aviation models. He plays guitar, sings, cooks before exams to relax, and eats no meat — a choice he made at age two, out of respect for animal life. His athletic life is no less impressive: Fjord is a licensed sailor, holds a 10-metre powerboat licence, and has practised yoga, golf, skating, skiing, swimming and horse riding, since early childhood. He has travelled to dozens of countries and picks up new languages almost by osmosis from Finnish to Arabic, Spanish, Albanian, Norwegian, Tagalog and Hindi. Future already unfolding Whether co-mentoring young entrepreneurs under a UAE-based initiative, tutoring peers in tech, or building new digital tools, Fjord remains grounded. 'He has always played with children and adolescents, with the same heart as he holds deep talks with professors and doctors,' says his mother. 'He is humble, kind, and never gives up.' Asked what lies ahead, Fjord keeps it simple. 'I am profoundly focused on nurturing my passions, building both my company and my charitable endeavours', he says 'Making time to maintain meaningful connections with both cherished childhood and freshly treasured friends is, also, very important to me.' His journey is just beginning. But for those who know Fjord, he is already changing the World - one code, one invention, and one kind act at a time.
