Other governments are trying to use AI to become more efficient, from summarising bills to improving public service delivery, but not to actively suggest changes to current laws by crunching government and legal data.\u201cThis new legislative system, powered by artificial intelligence, will change how we create laws, making the process faster and more precise,\u201d said Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Dubai ruler and UAE vice-president, quoted by state media. Ministers last week approved the creation of a new cabinet unit, the Regulatory Intelligence Office, to oversee the legislative AI push.\u00a0Rony Medaglia, a professor at Copenhagen Business School, said the UAE appeared to have an \u201cunderlying ambition to basically turn AI into some sort of co-legislator\u201d, and described the plan as \u201cvery bold\u201d.Abu Dhabi has bet heavily on AI and last year opened a dedicated investment vehicle, MGX, which has backed a $30bn BlackRock AI-infrastructure fund among other investments.\u00a0MGX has also added an AI observer to its own board.The UAE plans to use AI to track how laws affect the country\u2019s population and economy by creating a massive database of federal and local laws, together with public sector data such as court judgments and government services. The AI will \u201cregularly suggest updates to our legislation,\u201d Sheikh Mohammad said, according to state media. The government expects AI to speed up lawmaking by 70 per cent, according to the cabinet meeting readout. But researchers noted it could face many challenges and pitfalls. Those range from the AI becoming inscrutable to its users, to biases caused by its training data and questions over whether AI even interprets laws in the same way humans do.Although AI models are impressive, \u201cthey continue to hallucinate [and] have reliability issues and robustness issues,\u201d warned Vincent Straub, a researcher at Oxford university. \u201cWe can\u2019t trust them.\u201dThe UAE\u2019s plans are particularly novel because they include using the AI to anticipate legal changes that may be needed, said Straub. They could potentially also save on costs \u2014 governments often pay law firms to review legislation.\u201cIt seems that they are going a step further\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009from viewing AI as, let\u2019s say, like an assistant, a tool that can assist and categorise and draft, to one that can really predict and anticipate,\u201d said Straub. Keegan McBride, a lecturer at the Oxford Internet Institute, said the autocratic UAE has had an \u201ceasier time\u201d embracing sweeping government digitalisation than many democratic nations have. \u201cThey\u2019re able to move fast. They can sort of experiment with things.\u201dThere are dozens of smaller ways governments are using AI in legislation, McBride said, but he had not seen a similar plan from other countries. \u201cIn terms of ambition, [the UAE are] right there near the top,\u201d said McBride.It is unclear\u00a0which AI system the government will use, and experts said it may need to combine more than one.But setting guardrails for the AI and human supervision would be crucial, researchers said. The AI could propose something \u201creally, really weird\u201d that \u201cmakes sense to a machine\u201d but \u201cmay absolutely make no sense to really implement it out there for real in a human society\u201d, said Marina De Vos, a computer scientist at Bath university. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
