AI Governance for UAE and GCC Leaders: Is Your AI Ahead of Your Governance? | Aligne AI x IBM

AI governance in the UAE and GCC, explained for business and enterprise leaders. There is no single AI Act across the UAE or the GCC, and that means the gaps are yours to find before a regulator, customer or board member finds them for you. In this webinar, Amit Joshi, Managing Director of Aligne AI, answers three key questions for leaders in banking, insurance, telecoms and government across the UAE and GCC: 1. Where do you stand under UAE and GCC AI regulation today? 2. What breaks when generative and agentic AI start acting on their own? 3. What should you do about it this quarter, with no big budget required? What you will learn: The real UAE AI regulatory map: the PDPL, DIFC Regulation 10, ADGM, the CBUAE Guidance Note on AI (February 2026), the UAE AI Charter and the new Federal Authority for AI and Data Why the Central Bank of the UAE expects AI systems to be monitored after deployment, not only approved before it Why the DIFC treats an autonomous AI system like an employee, and what that means for supervision and accountability Why most AI governance frameworks fail to detect drift and agentic AI risk Three practical steps UAE and GCC organisations can start this quarter Where the AI governance market is heading, and how to plan ahead CHAPTERS 00:00 There is no AI Act here [00:00] Where you stand: the UAE and GCC regulatory map [00:00] What the Central Bank of the UAE decided [00:00] What the DIFC decided [00:00] What is breaking: why governance does not fire [00:00] From models that recommend to agents that act [00:00] What to do: three steps, no budget [00:00] What good AI governance looks like [00:00] What is next for AI governance [00:00] Q&A BOOK AN ALIGNMENT CALL Want to talk through where your organisation stands?
