“Our collaboration reflects the UAE’s commitment to responsible AI deployment and highlights the increasing role of technology in enabling resilient, secure, and sustainable communities – both locally and globally,” he said.

The companies said key benefits of the collaboration will include strengthening national security, advancing smart city initiatives, promoting global collaboration and supporting technological leadership.
A joint committee will be established to identify strategic projects that leverage AI for actionable improvement across urban infrastructure, while addressing global priorities.
The partnership marks a pivotal moment for both companies as they work together to redefine the future of digital transformation and security innovation on a global scale.
