Sheikh Hamdan directs creation of Dubai AI Seal for businesses
Dubai has introduced artificial intelligence seals to make it easier for businesses, organisations within the government and other stakeholders to evaluate companies promoting AI services. The creation of the labels came under the directive of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, to bolster trust in the AI offerings throughout the emirate. "We are dedicated to establishing an enabling environment for the advancement of the AI industry in Dubai," Sheikh Hamdan said. He said he hoped the AI seals will "drive economic growth, benefit the society, and shape the future we envision for Dubai and the world". The labels were introduced on Tuesday by the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence, a division of the Dubai Future Foundation that was founded in 2016 to accelerate the adoption of new technology throughout the UAE. A total of six seal tiers – E, D, C, B, A and S – will be offered to the businesses that apply, "with S representing the highest impact on Dubai's AI economy". The new service is free of charge, and businesses can apply through the DCAI website. According to the DCAI, seals will be "awarded to companies with proven and verified activities in Dubai" falling under the categories of AI consulting, development, infrastructure, integration and ancillary services. Seals will be required by Dubai's government entities from sellers of AI services, and those who earn the seals will have a higher chance of winning government AI projects, the DCAI said. The introduction of the seals comes one month after Sheikh Hamdan announced a new classification system in Dubai to indicate when AI has been used in research and publications. The announcements come as AI technology is being developed around the world at a breakneck pace. In recent years, the UAE − the Arab world's second-biggest economy − has pursued becoming an AI front-runner, as it seeks to diversify its economy away from oil. The country's efforts have resulted in the establishment of start-ups, partnerships and investments from industry leaders. Dubai has seen a growing amount of recognition for its AI endeavours. According to a recent report from Counterpoint Research, Dubai ranks in the top five world cities in terms of the adoption of AI, beating San Francisco, which is widely considered to be the birthplace of the modern tech industry. The emirate has helped the country rise to the top in various studies for AI, with a new report from TRG Datacenters ranking the UAE and Saudi Arabia as among the top three artificial intelligence superpowers in the world, behind the US.

Dubai's Wasl offers first-time buyers rare chance with new South Garden homes
A new Dubai real estate development will offer first-time buyers priority access to homes in its latest project. In line with the Dubai First-Time Home Buyer (FTHB) program, a substantial share of the newly released residential units in South Garden Buildings D and E will be reserved for eligible first-time buyers. The move underscores Wasl's contribution to the initiative and supports the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, which aims to boost homeownership rates across the emirate. First-time property buyers in Dubai The new release follows the rapid 48-hour sellout of South Garden's initial phase in 2024. Buildings D and E will add a curated selection of studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments at Wasl Gate, a freehold master development in Jebel Ali. Strategically located with direct Metro access and close to Festival Plaza Mall, the project combines connectivity and tranquillity. Amenities include a private gated zen garden, reflecting Wasl's commitment to delivering communities that offer long-term value for both residents and investors. As part of its partnership with the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), Wasl will provide registered first-time buyers with exclusive early access to units, along with tailored incentives such as discounted pricing. While some units will be allocated to the wider public, demand is expected to be strong given the project's track record of rapid sellouts. Mohamed Al Bahar, Director of Business Development at Wasl Group, said: 'The fact that so many are choosing to buy their first home through Wasl speaks volumes. It reflects not only the strength of our communities, but the trust we've earned to deliver quality, opportunity and value in a competitive market. 'With this launch, we're reaffirming our role as a developer of purpose, supporting Dubai's evolving housing needs while giving first-time buyers a real chance to step onto the property ladder.' The South Garden expansion highlights Wasl's ongoing role in shaping Dubai's property market and its commitment to fostering greater homeownership opportunities across the city.
