As artificial intelligence reshapes the frameworks of governance and economic policy worldwide, few voices bring as much clarity and insight to the conversation as Dr. Manal Abdel Samad, Distinguished Conference Speaker at the AI in Dubai Conference 2026.

A Senior Advisor in Taxation, Financial Policy, and Public Governance, Dr. Abdel Samad has long stood at the intersection of policy reform and technological innovation.

At the AI in Dubai Conference 2026, Dr. Abdel Samad will explore how AI-driven policymaking can strengthen fiscal accountability, enhance decision-making, and promote citizen-centric governance.

“Governance and technology must evolve together,” says Dr. Abdel Samad. “AI provides an unprecedented opportunity to design policies based on real-time data, evidence, and public value, not assumptions.”

Her participation reinforces the conference’s mission to bridge policy expertise with digital innovation, positioning Dubai once again as a global model for data-driven public administration and smart governance.

Dr. Hikmat Beaini, President of the AI in Dubai Conference, commented:

“Dr. Abdel Samad’s contribution brings an exceptional balance of intellect, experience, and vision. Her perspective reminds us that the future of governance will depend not only on algorithms but on ethical and informed leadership.”
