Ajman has started the executive phase of its government-wide artificial intelligence program. It is the beginning of a structured effort to introduce AI systems across public sector entities. The implementation phase was announced by Sheikh Humaid bin Ammar Al Nuaimi, Member of the Executive Council and Leader of the Ajman Artificial Intelligence program.
The three-year program is designed to help government departments adopt AI through a common institutional framework. It focuses on governance, workforce readiness, digital enablement and responsible technology use. The initiative aims to improve government operations and enhance public services through wider and more organised use of artificial intelligence.
The program was initially launched in May 2026, followed by the first coordination meeting. In July, authorities finalized the institutional model and identified requirements for the opening phase. The executive phase, which began in August, will activate the Enablement and Governance Committees along with the Executive Team. Officials will also begin a comprehensive inventory of existing AI use cases within government organizations.
The Ajman AI program covers eight pillars linked to Ajman Vision and has set a target of developing 100 AI initiatives during its implementation period. The first regulatory package includes four key instruments that establish the structure for programme execution.
The package also defines coordination mechanisms between government entities and sets timelines for implementation. The program includes the preparation of a unified operational framework and standard templates for approving AI initiatives. The approach is aimed at ensuring that AI projects follow clear governance standards before deployment.
Sheikh Humaid said the new phase focuses on applying artificial intelligence at an institutional level and converting technological capabilities into measurable improvements in government performance and service quality. He said the program will rely on coordination between government entities, supported by governance structures, enablement measures and capacity development.
The program marks Ajman’s move towards a more coordinated model for artificial intelligence adoption. Rather than individual departments developing separate approaches, the framework creates a unified system for planning, approving and implementing AI projects.
The coming phases will determine how government entities integrate AI tools into their daily operations while maintaining oversight and responsible use standards.
