Ajman has started the executive phase of its Artificial Intelligence Program, Fast Company Middle East reported, backing a 100-initiative target under Ajman Vision 2030 with committees, coordinators and shared operating rules.

The development is procedural as much as technical.

Sheikh Humaid bin Ammar Al Nuaimi, who leads the program and sits on the Executive Council, announced the phase on Wednesday after governance bodies, an Executive Team, implementation directions and a review of current public-sector AI use cases were put in place.

Governance Sets The Rollout Path

Committees and the Executive Team will now be activated, while AI coordinators are appointed across government entities.

Existing applications will be reviewed before departments standardize practices and share knowledge.

Sheikh Humaid described the phase as a way to turn program objectives into practical applications that improve government performance, public services and future readiness.

The focus is organized administrative deployment rather than a single app launch.

The scale target links artificial intelligence adoption to public-service quality and the emirate's competitiveness agenda.

The initiatives are aligned with the eight pillars of Ajman Vision 2030.

Trade Licenses Show The Service Model

The new phase follows a completed agentic AI transaction in government services.

Through the Department of Digital Ajman, a trade license was renewed under a proactive, headless model that notifies businesses before expiry and guides renewal through the AjmanOne app.

That first use case shows how the program may affect business-facing services.

License renewals began through the Department of Economic Development, while lease-related approvals connected through Ajman Municipality and Planning Department.

For SendTech readers, the important development is the operating layer now being placed around those use cases.

A government AI roadmap can produce isolated pilots; this executive phase adds committees, coordinators, implementation timelines and a shared framework that can decide which services move from experiment to routine delivery.

The target now depends on agency execution.

More services must move from reviewed use cases into live workflows that residents and businesses can complete with less manual intervention.
