How will the UAE’s new AI-powered system change work permit approvals?

Starting May, the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, Customs and Port Security, in partnership with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, will use artificial intelligence and robotics to screen work permit applicants. The system evaluates candidates based on skills, education, experience, and expertise using data-driven algorithms, aiming to make hiring more objective and aligned with market needs. Backed by initiatives led by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this move is designed to attract highly skilled professionals, improve workforce quality, and streamline recruitment processes across the United Arab Emirates. Do you think AI-driven hiring will make job opportunities fairer—or more difficult for applicants?
