Mission
To generate trusted, evidence-informed, AI-enabled policy intelligence that helps governments understand change, design better policy options, test ideas earlier, and act with greater confidence.
About the Institute
Building a new institutional model for public policy.
The Institute for Policy Intelligence is an AI-native policy intelligence institution that produces research, advisory services, intelligence tools, and professional learning products for future-ready government. Based in Abu Dhabi, it combines artificial intelligence, human expertise, public insight, foresight, and real-world experimentation to help governments understand change, design better policy options, test ideas earlier, and act with greater confidence.
Mission & Vision
Vision
To become the world's leading AI-native policy design institution and a trusted intelligence partner for governments seeking to anticipate change, design better policies, and shape more resilient, inclusive, and future-ready societies.
Why the Institute Exists
Traditional policy institutions were not built for this speed, complexity, or uncertainty.
Governments today face faster change, more complex societies, emerging technologies, shifting public expectations, and long-term strategic challenges. Traditional policy tools alone are no longer enough.
The Institute for Policy Intelligence was created to build a new model of policy work — one designed for the AI era. It brings together artificial intelligence, human judgment, evidence, public perception research, foresight, and experimentation to support better decisions and future-ready government.

Responsible, transparent, and reliable research, advice, and public outputs.
03
Intelligence
Disciplined thinking, evidence, foresight, data, public insight, and human judgment.
04
Innovation
Developing new methods, tools, and institutional models for future policy work.
05
Responsibility
Using AI carefully, ethically, and with human oversight.
06
Practicality
Moving ideas from analysis to implementation.
07
Openness

08
Future-mindedness
Focusing on anticipation, preparedness, and long-term national development.
How We Work
Eight principles guide our research, partnerships, publications, and AI use.
Responsible AI
AI strengthens policy intelligence. Human judgment governs it.
The Institute uses AI to support research, analysis, design, simulation, and communication. But AI does not replace human judgment. Every major output should be reviewed by qualified experts, AI-generated claims should be verified, sensitive data should be protected, and policy recommendations should remain accountable to humans.
Founding Statement
A new model of policy work
for the AI era.
The world is entering a new era of government.
Public institutions are facing faster change, more complex societies, emerging technologies, shifting citizen expectations, and long-term strategic challenges that cannot be addressed through traditional policy tools alone. Governments are being asked to anticipate more, decide faster, understand society more deeply, and design policies that are both evidence-informed and future-ready.
Traditional policy systems were not built for this speed, complexity, or uncertainty.
The Institute for Policy Intelligence was created to build a new model of policy work — one designed for the AI era.
It is an AI-native policy design institution where artificial intelligence strengthens human judgment, evidence informs strategy, public insight shapes decision-making, and policy ideas are tested before they are scaled.
We believe the future of policy will not be written by AI alone, nor by experts alone. It will be shaped by institutions that can combine intelligence, ethics, imagination, experimentation, and public trust.
01
Policy work must become faster, but not careless.
02
More intelligent, but not less human.
03
More data-informed, but not disconnected from lived experience.
04
More experimental, but still responsible.
05
More future-oriented, but grounded in public value.
Based in Abu Dhabi, the Institute for Policy Intelligence aims to contribute to the UAE's future-oriented governance model and to global thinking on how governments can design better futures.
The institute brings together artificial intelligence, human expertise, public perception research, foresight, and policy experimentation to help governments understand change, design better options, test ideas earlier, and act with greater confidence.
Our Mission
To help governments think more intelligently, act more confidently, and design policies that improve people's lives.
The Founding Promise
A new model of policy work — built for the speed, complexity, and possibility of the AI era.
