Abu Dhabi signs four agreements with OpenAI to advance AI integration

Abu Dhabi has signed four major agreements with OpenAI to integrate advanced artificial intelligence across the government, energy, investment, and education sectors. The partnerships aim to support the emirate’s goal of becoming the world’s first fully AI-native government by 2027.

One key initiative, the Machine-Readable Government (MRG) project, seeks to convert government policies and regulations into formats interpretable by AI. This will allow AI systems to assist officials in assessing compliance for permits and certificates, with a pilot program already active at the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) for food import compliance.

In the energy sector, ADNOC, G42 subsidiary Inception42, and OpenAI have partnered to deploy OpenAI’s frontier technology. This agreement makes ADNOC the first energy company globally to utilize such technology to enhance operational, investment, and commercial decision-making. The deployment will utilize in-country inference infrastructure within the UAE. Financial terms for these agreements were not disclosed.
