The future of AI governance: the UAE Charter and global perspectives

The role of AI principles in shaping responsible AI adoption and regulation

At KPMG, we recognize that a clear and actionable set of AI principles forms the foundation for driving ethical and responsible AI development and adoption. These principles are critical for building trust, ensuring accountability, and fostering innovation among citizens, organizations, and governments.
They also serve as the blueprint for future AI regulations, making them a vital starting point for organizational readiness.

Globally, regulations such as the EU AI Act, passed in 2024, have been developed based on foundational principles, including the ethical guidelines for trustworthy AI published in 2019 by the European Commission’s High-Level Expert Group (HLEG). Similarly, the UAE has taken a leadership role in ethical AI adoption, guided by its AI Strategy 2031 and the UAE AI Charter. The Charter articulates 12 key principles that provide a comprehensive framework for the responsible development and deployment of AI technologies.

To support organizations in navigating these principles and preparing for impending regulations, we will be releasing a detailed whitepaper that offers in-depth analysis and actionable insight for aligning with the UAE AI Charter.
