Gulf News, 28 July 2026: Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President of the UAE, Deputy Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Presidential Court, announced the launch of the world’s first fully integrated AI‑powered judicial platform, marking a global milestone in judicial innovation.
Sheikh Mansour described the initiative as “a new global achievement” that reinforces the UAE’s leadership in government and judicial excellence. The platform represents a strategic shift from digital government services to AI‑enabled justice, designed to accelerate litigation, improve legal research, and support informed decision‑making while ensuring final judgments remain under full human oversight.
The platform integrates artificial intelligence across multiple stages of judicial proceedings, including:
-
Automated analysis of case files and documents.
-
Instant access to legislation and regulatory frameworks.
-
Rapid retrieval and comparison of judicial precedents.
-
AI‑assisted recommendations and analytical reports.
-
Support in drafting memoranda and judicial documents.
-
Faster case processing and shorter litigation timelines.
Officials emphasised that the system does not replace judges but functions as an advanced legal assistant, preserving judicial independence while enhancing efficiency.
The UAE’s initiative is distinguished globally by its comprehensive integration of AI functions within a single judicial ecosystem, rather than isolated applications. Experts believe it will reduce litigation time, lower costs, strengthen investor confidence, and enhance the UAE’s competitiveness in global rule‑of‑law indices.
