Safe AI Cup, Dubai, United Arab Emirates โ€“ January 2026

In a significant move to align technological progress with digital safety, the Emirates Safe Internet Society (eSafe), the Robotics and Automation Society (RAS), and Global Innovation & Entrepreneurship (GIE) announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at establishing and launching the “Safe AI for Society Initiative.”

This long-term strategic framework aims to build a sustainable ecosystem where artificial intelligence is developed and used in an ethical, safe, and practical manner across the United Arab Emirates. It represents a unified vision for the future, embodying a bridge between civil society, the deep technology sector, and professional academic circles.ย 
His initiative responds to the rapid integration of artificial intelligence into daily life by establishing standards and programs that prioritize well-being alongside technical innovation.

In this context, Dr. Abdullah Mohammed Al-Muhias, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Emirates Safe Internet Society, stated that the “Safe AI for Society Initiative” is a necessary development for our mission. He added that with the spread of AI and its applications, we must ensure it is safe for our children and beneficial for our society, and this tripartite alliance allows us to move from the awareness stage to work, creating a regulated environment for responsible innovation

Dr. Saeed Al Dhaheri, President of the Robotics and Automation Society, pointed out that this initiative directly supports the UAE National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence 2031. Through unifying our efforts, we are creating a comprehensive path to develop talents characterized by technical competence and ethical foundations.

Eng. Tariq Salah El-Din, CEO of Global Innovation & Entrepreneurship (GIE), explained that innovation without safety measures is considered a risk, and safety without innovation is considered stagnation. Our role in this initiative is to ensure that UAE youth have access to the technical infrastructure and guidance to build AI based on principles. We are proud to bring our expertise in the deep technology ecosystem to this vital national cause.

The partners announced that the first milestone of the initiative is the launch of the Safe AI Cup 2026 as an immediate first action. This student competition will serve as a practical testing ground for the initiative’s principles, challenging students to build prototypes and ethical AI solutions for the education sector. The initiative will roll out a series of programs, including student competitions, teacher training, and policy workshops throughout 2026 and beyond.
