Shafaqna English- The UAE ranks first for AI adoption in the workplace, according to a new report from Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab.
The report, which surveyed AI diffusion across more than 30 countries, found that 59.4 per cent of the UAE’s working-age population uses AI tools daily, such as Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, and Midjourney, the highest proportion worldwide. Singapore ranked second with 58.6 per cent, followed by Norway and Ireland.
Microsoft’s findings place the UAE in the elite category of global “Leaders of Adoption,” a designation reserved for nations that not only deploy artificial intelligence at scale but also shape its development, regulation, and application across the economy and society.
The group includes only a handful of countries, among them Singapore and Norway, recognised for building comprehensive ecosystems to support AI advancement, covering legislative frameworks, skilled talent, and advanced technological platforms.
According to Microsoft, the UAE’s ascent to the top spot reflects a decade-long national effort guided by the UAE National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence 2031, which laid the groundwork for integrating AI into public services, business operations, and education.
