United Arab Emirates: Abu Dhabi Uses Artificial Intelligence to Manage a Special Economic Zone

A special economic zone in Abu Dhabi uses an artificial intelligence system based on blockchain technology, developed by the Technology Innovation Institute, to enhance compliance and improve procedures for issuing licences, visas and tax returns, as well as detecting fraud. The zone spans 45 square kilometres, and, according to the news report, the system has helped attract more than US$5 billion in foreign investment.
