Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan has launched a national initiative that positions artificial intelligence as a driver of tolerance and coexistence in the UAE, outlining a vision that blends technological progress with human values.
Announced at a press conference hosted by the Ministry of Tolerance and Coexistence, the initiative reflects the UAE’s aim to harness emerging technologies in ways that support social harmony, responsible innovation and global engagement. Senior officials, including Afra Al Sabri, attended the briefing along with media representatives.
Sheikh Nahyan said the project aligns with the country’s long term vision to contribute meaningfully to global development. He noted that AI has become a defining force in shaping modern life, making it essential to embed principles of mutual respect, understanding and collaboration at every level.
The initiative outlines how AI tools will support individuals by improving communication, expanding learning opportunities and strengthening personal development. At the community level, the technology will help institutions work more efficiently, share knowledge and promote joint efforts that reinforce social cohesion.
Nationally, the programme aims to highlight the connection between tolerance and economic and social progress while deepening ties with diverse communities, institutions and civil society. Globally, it seeks to showcase the UAE’s model of coexistence and build stronger international cooperation.
Sheikh Nahyan stressed that the Ministry’s approach to AI is rooted in ethics, inclusivity and a commitment to safeguarding human values. The framework includes principles that promote bias free technology, stronger human connection, innovative tools for protection and resilience, advanced data analysis and digital companions that guide and support youth.
The Ministry plans to develop twelve AI applications that will enrich learning, preserve culture, encourage collaboration and extend the reach of its programmes. Sheikh Nahyan said the goal is to ensure AI becomes a force for peace, harmony and shared progress.
