AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Cybersecurity: UAE organisations averaged 2,521 cyberattacks a week in September, up 47% year on year, as phishing, ransomware and risks from generative AI grow. Digital payments: Dubai’s cashless strategy beat its 2026 target early, with digital payments reaching 90.1% and contributing Dh8bn to the economy. AI finance: HSBC and Ant Digital tested AI agents that found digital services and paid for them using tokenised bank deposits; the trial ran on a test network, not with live customers. AI infrastructure: GBM launched a UAE AI lab powered by Cisco and NVIDIA, while the Technology Innovation Institute released an AI model trained to understand Emirati dialect. Space research: The UAE has completed development of a probe for its Asteroid Belt mission, designed to impact the asteroid it studies.
