Dubai has approved an executive plan to accelerate Agentic AI adoption across the private sector, targeting 295,000 companies, 100 specialised AI assistants and 50 new Agentic AI companies over the next two years, Arabian Business reported.

The plan was approved by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum during a meeting of the Higher Committee for Future Technology Development and the Digital Economy.
