Edrak and the Artificial Intelligence and Data Authority

The authority sets the UAE's direction on AI and data, including the principles AI systems are expected to follow. Edrak is designed so those principles can be enforced: human approval points, a full record of every decision, and your choice of model for every task.

AIDA
National authority for AI and data. Sets AI policy, data governance and digital government direction.
Applies to
Federal government entities directly; the AI ethics principles and adoption guidelines are published for all organisations deploying AI in the UAE.
Where Edrak stands
Edrak's controls are mapped to the UAE's AI ethics principles and adoption guidelines and we share that mapping. The authority issues policy and guidance and does not certify vendors.

UAE AI policy and guidance

The authority publishes principles and guidelines. These four are the ones an AI deployment is measured against.

  • Ethics

    AI Ethics Principles and Guidelines

    Fairness, accountability, transparency, explainability, robustness, privacy and human oversight.

  • Charter

    UAE Charter for AI

    Twelve principles for the development and use of AI, including safety and inclusion.

  • Adoption

    AI Adoption Guidelines

    How government entities assess, procure and govern AI systems.

  • Data

    Federal Data Governance

    Policies for data classification, sharing and digital government services.

How Edrak supports your AIDA obligations

The obligations are yours. Edrak is built to make meeting them straightforward, and to be clear about what stays on your side.

  • AI ethics and fairness

    Edrak: Human approval points, full records and model choice let you apply your own AI principles to every workflow.

    You: Adopting the principles, assessing impact and monitoring outcomes.

  • Explainability

    Edrak: Each output carries its sources, the model used and the reasoning steps recorded, so decisions can be reviewed after the fact.

    You: Deciding which decisions need human review before they take effect.

  • Human oversight

    Edrak: Approval steps sit where you set them. Nothing completes without the sign-off you require.

    You: Defining the approval points and who holds them.

  • Models and third parties

    Edrak: Routing rules keep restricted data on open-weight models inside your boundary; hosted frontier models handle the rest.

    You: Approving which models may be used, and for what.

  • Procurement and disclosure

    Edrak: Model provenance, deployment location and sub-processors are documented for your procurement and AI registers.

    You: Registering AI use cases and completing impact assessments.

  • Records

    Edrak: Every action, decision and outcome is logged: who asked, which model ran, what it touched, what came back.

    You: Retention periods and forwarding to your monitoring tools.

For your security and compliance teams

We share a requirement-by-requirement mapping to the AIDA frameworks, a data-flow diagram for your deployment option, and our security overview, under NDA. We also answer questionnaire items directly.
