Abu Dhabi is setting ambitious goals for the future, announcing a Dh13-billion strategy that aims to make its government operations entirely powered by artificial intelligence (AI) by 2027. With this move, the emirate aspires to become the world’s first fully “AI-native” government, with automated processes and complete adoption of cloud computing technologies.

The Abu Dhabi Government Digital Strategy 2025-2027, led by the Department of Government Enablement – Abu Dhabi (DGE), is a transformative initiative to enhance public service delivery, optimize government functions, and drive sustainable economic growth. Along with technological advances, the strategy will create over 5,000 jobs, boosting the local economy and contributing more than Dh24 billion to Abu Dhabi’s GDP.

The core objective of this initiative is to embed AI, cloud technologies, and data-driven insights into the very DNA of the government. “By incorporating these cutting-edge technologies, we will optimize our operations, improve public services, and ultimately support sustainable economic growth,” said Ahmed Hisham Al Kuttab, Chairman of DGE.

Key aspects of the strategy include the establishment of a unified digital enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform, which will improve government efficiency and streamline processes. As part of the “AI for All” program, the initiative will also focus on empowering citizens by training them in AI applications, ensuring a highly skilled workforce ready to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

Moreover, the government is committed to implementing over 200 AI-driven solutions across various public services, ensuring that these innovations reach all facets of governmental operations. Alongside the technological advancements, comprehensive cybersecurity measures will be introduced, with new digital guidelines aimed at maintaining the highest standards of security.

This move is not only a strategic shift towards a fully digital government but also a bold step towards positioning Abu Dhabi as a global leader in the adoption of artificial intelligence and advanced technologies in the public sector.

Anthropic Unveils Advanced Cybersecurity AI Through Project Glasswing

Anthropic has introduced Claude Mythos Preview, an artificial intelligence model designed to identify vulnerabilities in software. The release forms part of the company’s Project Glasswing initiative, focused on strengthening cybersecurity as threats continue to evolve.

Innovative Cyber Capabilities

Claude Mythos Preview identifies complex software flaws that are often difficult to detect using traditional methods. In one case, the model uncovered a 27-year-old vulnerability in OpenBSD, an operating system widely known for its security standards. Access to the model is currently restricted. Anthropic said the limitation is intended to reduce the risk of misuse and ensure the technology is applied in defensive contexts.

Strategic Industry Collaborations

Major technology companies, including Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia and Amazon Web Services, joined as early partners in Project Glasswing. More than 40 additional companies, including CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks, are working with Anthropic to integrate the model into their cybersecurity systems.

Balancing Innovation With Caution

Dianne Penn said in a CNBC interview that the launch followed an extensive internal review. The company is also working with U.S. agencies, including the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, to align deployment with safety requirements. Dario Amodei said the company is focused on balancing defensive benefits with potential risks linked to advanced AI systems.

Expanding AI Infrastructure Security

Anthropic has allocated up to $100 million in usage credits for selected partners. The programme is aimed at testing the model across proprietary and open-source systems. Early access is focused on companies managing critical infrastructure, as Anthropic evaluates broader deployment scenarios.

Outlook

Project Glasswing reflects a shift toward AI-driven cybersecurity tools designed to identify vulnerabilities earlier in the development cycle. Adoption will depend on how effectively companies balance improved detection capabilities with the risks associated with advanced AI systems.
