Dubai launches Agentic AI Accelerator to automate 33 government entities

The Dubai Future Foundation (DFF) launched the "Agentic AI for Government Services Accelerator" on Monday, 5 October, targeting the rapid deployment of autonomous artificial intelligence across 33 government entities. The initiative, managed by the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI), aims to transition public services from reactive responses to predictive, automated systems. 300 Public-Facing Use Cases Identified In its initial phase, the programme will evaluate more than 300 public-facing use cases to determine which services benefit most from agentic AI integration.
