Dubai has received a wave of global interest for its newly launched “Dubai AI Seal”, with 325 companies applying for the certification aimed at promoting trusted, transparent, and ethical use of artificial intelligence.
Launched by the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence, the Dubai AI Seal offers a rigorous framework to assess and certify companies operating AI-based products or integrating AI into their services. The initiative is open to all firms licensed in Dubai and is free to join via the official website.
The Seal is already proving to be a key step in the emirate’s broader strategy to lead globally in responsible AI deployment. It will be required for companies participating in upcoming government-led AI projects, reinforcing its role as a gateway to strategic collaborations.
H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum met with representatives of the first certified companies during Dubai AI Week. Notable recipients of the top-tier “Tier S” certification include IBM and e&, alongside other early adopters spanning health, software, media, and real estate sectors.
Each certified company receives a unique serial number and classification tier, with permission to showcase the Seal across digital and promotional channels.
“The Dubai AI Seal is part of a broader effort to attract top-tier tech companies and startups from across the UAE and the world,”
said Saeed Al Falasi, Executive Director of the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence.
“Our goal is to build a trusted ecosystem of AI pioneers.”
By setting a new benchmark for ethical AI innovation, the Dubai AI Seal further positions the city as a leading hub for cutting-edge, responsible technology.
