However, he posited that engaging in conversations and forging relationships to advance the sector is even more important. He said: 'The vision of our leadership is to turn the UAE into an AI hub. Furthermore, there is a lot cybercrime happening (around the world) today which is why we need to be more proactive and build the right infrastructure to protect our digital systems through AI.

He said: 'AI saves us much time by helping us through analysis, but it does not contribute to making a decision. With that said, I believe it's not far away [that AI is making prosecution decisions]. It's now almost there. We should keep the same speed of AI going but choose where to implement and test AI in different cases of crime.'

AI Could Soon Play a Role in Judging Crimes, UAE Official Reveals
Artificial intelligence (AI) could soon be making critical decisions in the UAE's judicial system, as the country's government explores its potential for crime judgment. Salem Ali Juma Al Zaabi, Head of Emergency, Crisis, and Disaster Prosecution at the UAE Public Prosecution, shared this groundbreaking development during his address at the 'AI Everything' summit in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. Al Zaabi highlighted that AI is already being tested for specific cases where the outcome is straightforward, and little to no discretion is needed. 'There are cases right now where the outcome is very clear and no discretion is needed,' he said, emphasizing that speed is crucial in the justice sector. The trial runs of AI in these types of cases are expected to increase efficiency and accelerate the judicial process. In addition to decision-making, AI is already helping the justice system by streamlining document-related tasks. Al Zaabi explained how AI aids in reading, translating, and summarizing large volumes of documents, significantly reducing the time needed for prosecution work. While AI's current use is largely as a tool to support human decision-making, Al Zaabi acknowledged the sensitive nature of criminal cases, which involve emotions and require discretion. 'AI helps with speed, but for now, it remains a tool, not the decision-maker,' he clarified. The UAE's judicial body has strict internal policies regarding AI's use, ensuring it aligns with ethical standards. AI has also proven effective in handling violations, such as during the pandemic when cameras tracked mask-wearing compliance. Al Zaabi noted that AI helped collect data, identify individuals, and determine appropriate penalties. However, he emphasized that human oversight remains a cornerstone of the system, ensuring the right decisions are made. The 'AI Everything' summit, which runs for three days, will explore how AI can drive transformation and impact across various sectors, including justice. As AI continues to evolve, it is clear that the UAE is at the forefront of integrating this technology into its legal framework, potentially changing the landscape of justice in the near future.

UAE: Soon, AI could be judging crimes, analysing cases, says top official
Artificial intelligence could soon be judging crimes, according to a top UAE government official. The country's judicial body has already begun trialling a system that allows AI to decide on cases. 'There are cases right now where the outcome is very clear and no discretion is needed,' said Salem Ali Juma Al Zaabi, Head of Emergency, Crisis, and Disaster Prosecution at UAE Public Prosecution. 'We have already started to implement and test using AI in these kind of crimes. In the justice sector, it is important not to act slow.' Al Zaabi was speaking at the 'AI Everything' summit that began in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. The summit, which takes place over three days, will examine the most compelling AI-powered applications driving transformation and impact across various sectors. He also said that the technology was being widely used to help deliver justice swiftly. 'In criminal cases, sometimes we have a lot of documents to read through and translate,' he said. 'AI saves us much time and helps to accelerate the ease of justice by helping us to translate, summarise and analyse these documents quickly.' Ethics Despite ongoing trials, he said that for the timebeing the role of AI was largely as a tool to deliver justice and not for decision-making. 'When you deal with crimes, there are emotions and discretion for the public prosecutor to decide,' he said. 'Right now, we do use AI in our services but we have internal policies about where we use it, how to use it, and what kind of ethics we should have if we use AI in prosecution work.' He also gave examples of how AI was used for prosecution during the pandemic and said despite all the technology, authorities keenly observe and take decisions on how to deal with violations. 'We had cameras spotting people who were not wearing masks,' he said. 'We collaborated with relevant entities to collect data and identify the person. We then considered whether the act can be considered for a fine and then the penalty was issued.'
