Abu Dhabi’s Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Technology Council met on 6 October under the chairmanship of Deputy Ruler Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, with Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed present, the Abu Dhabi Media Office reported. The council reviewed work on the UAE-US AI Campus in Abu Dhabi, AI research, specialised talent and open models, alongside government progress toward its stated goal of becoming fully AI-native by 2027.

The council is Abu Dhabi’s authority for AI and advanced-technology projects, investment and research, including related policies and priorities. The official account describes a review of strategic areas and a call to direct investment, research and partnerships toward a long-term technology base. It provides no campus budget, implementation milestones, model release, or measurable progress indicators. The meeting therefore documents policy priorities, while the announcement leaves the operational status and timing of individual projects unspecified.
