Ajman has moved its Artificial Intelligence Program into its executive phase, starting institutional implementation across government entities after preparatory governance work and executive orders set the program in motion.

Economy Middle East reported that Sheikh Humaid bin Ammar Al Nuaimi, Member of the Executive Council and Leader of the Ajman Artificial Intelligence Program, announced the phase on Wednesday, August 5, 2026.

The launch follows the completion of the program’s Enablement and Governance Committee, the organization of its Executive Team, the issuance of executive orders governing the start of work and timelines, and an inventory of existing AI use cases across government entities.

A Common Operating Framework

The executive phase is designed to turn the program’s objectives into practical applications that improve government performance, enhance public services and strengthen Ajman Government’s future readiness.

The first operating steps include activating the Enablement and Governance Committees and the Executive Team, naming program coordinators inside government entities, conducting a comprehensive inventory of current AI use cases and preparing a unified operational framework.

That framework is meant to standardize AI practices across government entities, strengthen knowledge sharing and promote responsible use of artificial intelligence.

The program is targeting 100 initiatives aligned with the eight pillars of Ajman Vision 2030, with the stated aim of improving government services and supporting the emirate’s competitiveness.

Agentic AI Service Sets The Pattern

The executive phase follows a service example completed last month by the Government of Ajman, represented by the Department of Digital Ajman.

The government completed the UAE’s first government transaction to renew a trade license using Agentic AI through a proactive, headless government service model.

Digital Ajman developed the system by providing the infrastructure and support for services that identify customer needs, prepare the service journey, request approval and coordinate procedures across relevant entities with minimal customer effort.

The first phase focuses on trade license renewal through the Department of Economic Development in Ajman.

Customers are automatically notified before their license expires and directed to the intelligent assistant in the unified AjmanOne government app to complete the renewal process.

The workflow also connects with Ajman Municipality and Planning Department when a valid commercial lease is required for trade license renewal.

If the lease has to be renewed, customers are guided through that step before the trade license renewal continues automatically.

The initiative supports the UAE’s national direction to deploy Agentic AI for future readiness, economic growth and human progress, while improving Ajman’s business environment.
