The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) has highlighted the key objectives and future ambitions of its GovAI Programme during the opening of the second World Summit AI Qatar.
The programme, a major national initiative aimed at advancing Qatar's digital transformation, seeks to empower government entities to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) solutions that address real challenges while improving service quality and operational efficiency.
Eman al-Kuwari, the director of Digital Innovation at the ministry, said the programme provides a practical framework for government agencies to identify use cases, assess feasibility, and move through development and implementation phases.
She emphasised that the framework balances innovation with governance and accountability.
What distinguishes the GovAI Programme, al-Kuwari said, is not just the solutions it produces, but the way it brings together government entities, technology partners, and the national innovation ecosystem around a single table.
She noted that Qatar's digital infrastructure, policy development, and skilled national workforce present a real opportunity to develop a new generation of AI-powered public services.
These services are intended to enhance quality of life and strengthen Qatar's competitiveness both regionally and globally.
The official stressed that future phases of the programme will see the expansion and integration of multiple projects across government entities, ensuring that every AI solution delivers clear value, addresses genuine challenges, and leaves a tangible impact on citizens, residents, and visitors alike.
The GovAI Programme aligns with Qatar's National Digital Agenda 2030, which places AI at the heart of the country's economic and social development strategy.
