Why AI Is Reshaping HR From Operations to Strategic Leadership

Image
Over the past two years, the acceleration of artificial intelligence has moved from incremental improvement to structural disruption. Few functions illustrate this shift more clearly than Human Resources. What was once viewed as a support function driven by policy, compliance, and manual processes is now becoming a data-informed, experience-led strategic engine. Recent global studies confirm this momentum. A growing majority of HR organizations are either actively planning or already deploying generative AI solutions . Research consistently shows HR teams ranking among the most aggressive adopters of AI, particularly in areas such as talent acquisition, benefits design, workforce analytics, and employee engagement. This is not experimentation for its own sake. It is a response to mounting pressure. Employee expectations are rising sharply. Workforces now expect personalization, speed, fairness, and transparency at scale. At the same time, HR capacity remains finite. Budgets are const...

Qatar’s AI Lawmakers: When Code Begins to Shape the State

Image
 For decades, governments around the world have spoken about digital transformation as if it were an upgrade—new software layered onto old systems, faster paperwork, fewer queues. Qatar has now taken a far more radical step. It has begun rethinking how laws themselves are conceived, examined, and refined in the age of artificial intelligence. With the launch of the first phase of its Smart Legislative Advisor programme, Qatar is no longer experimenting at the edges of innovation. It is placing AI at the heart of governance—where power, accountability, and national identity intersect. This is not about chatbots answering citizen queries or dashboards visualising data. This is about algorithms assisting in the writing of the rules that shape society. That distinction matters. Developed by the Council of Ministers Secretariat General in collaboration with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology , the initiative positions Qatar among a very small group of nations ...

UAE’s Digital Boom Isn’t Neutral—It’s Rewriting Power in the Region

Image
The United Arab Emirates likes to describe its digital transformation as open , inclusive , and carrier-neutral . That framing works well in official statements and conference keynotes. On the ground, however, the story feels far less neutral—and far more consequential. By 2025, the UAE is no longer simply building digital infrastructure; it is deciding who gets to compete in the next phase of the Middle East’s digital economy. Carrier-neutral data centres, sovereign AI compute, and hyperscale campuses are quietly reshaping how startups, enterprises, and even governments operate. The promise is efficiency and global relevance. The risk is concentration of power under a new, more sophisticated banner. This tension—between openness and control—is what makes the UAE’s digital transformation both admired and quietly feared across the region. What Is the UAE’s National Digital Transformation Strategy—Really? Officially, the UAE’s digital strategy is about becoming a global technology ...

Inside the Middle East’s AI App Boom: Trends, Investments, and Key Innovators

Image
 The rapid transformation of the Middle East’s technology landscape has been impossible to ignore. Over the past few years, I’ve watched AI move from a distant concept discussed at conferences to a practical engine driving economic diversification, public-sector modernization, and mobile-first digital experiences. What once felt like isolated pilot projects has now matured into a full-fledged movement—one where every major sector explores, adopts, and scales AI-driven mobile applications at an impressive pace. This acceleration didn’t happen randomly. It reflects deliberate planning, ambitious government strategies, and a clear resolve to move beyond traditional economic models. National innovation programs like Saudi Vision 2030 , the UAE National AI Strategy 2031 , and Qatar’s aggressive digital transformation agenda have created fertile ground for AI development. Today, AI mobile apps are not just contributing to national goals—they are reshaping the daily lives of businesses ...
