Dubai Police has announced that its General Department of Artificial Intelligence has officially obtained ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification on the third and final day of the World Police Summit in Dubai last week.
Dubai Police becomes one of the first government entities globally to receive this international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS).
The certification was formally presented to Ahmad Rafie, assistant commander-in-chief for administration affairs at Dubai Police, by Bureau Veritas, a leading global certification body.
The ISO/IEC 42001:2023 standard defines the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving a management system for AI within organisations. It promotes the ethical use of AI technologies, ensures the reliability of smart systems, and enhances the quality and efficiency of services delivered.
Director of the General Department of Artificial Intelligence, Major General Al Razooqi, confirmed that the certification reflects Dubai Police’s unwavering commitment to institutional excellence and the adoption of global best practices in AI.
He added that, under the leadership of Lieutenant General Abdulla Khalifa Al Marri, commander-in-chief of Dubai Police, the organisation continuously strives to integrate AI-driven solutions across various policing sectors. This improves public safety, improves service delivery, and supports Dubai Police’s broader mission of community happiness.
