During the gathering that took place at His Highness's majlis in Nad Al Sheba, Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan said that the visionary leadership of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has established the UAE as a global model of progress, driven by a strong commitment to excellence and innovation. Their guidance has also enabled the country to lead global competitiveness rankings across numerous vital sectors.
His Highness highlighted the UAE's enduring commitment to excellence as a core value across all services and sectors. He also highlighted Dubai's early initiative, launched more than 30 years ago, to implement a government excellence programme that has played a vital role in the ongoing advancement of the public sector, with a strong focus on enhancing the happiness and well-being of the community.
Sheikh Hamdan also highlighted that the UAE's experience in development and government modernisation has attracted international attention, with many countries looking to learn from its example. Rather than settling for incremental improvements, the UAE consistently drives innovation by creating new models that anticipate the needs of its people and strive to enhance their overall quality of life, he said.
His Highness Sheikh Hamdan highlighted the notable progress of government services in Dubai, especially the shift toward a digital-first approach. He noted that true government success lies in its ability to rethink its tools, improving performance, and embracing modern technology—driven by flexibility, speed, and bold decision-making as key pillars of sustainable development.
He further highlighted that rapid global change demands fresh thinking and innovation to not only maintain but enhance the quality and efficiency of government services in Dubai. These efforts are key to meeting community needs and reinforcing the city's position as one of the world's best places to live, work, and visit.
Discussions also addressed ongoing development projects across the emirate as part of the Dubai 2030 Plan, alongside the ambitious goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 and Dubai Social Agenda 33. Participants emphasised the vital role of Dubai's acclaimed public-private partnership model in achieving these targets and reaffirmed their shared commitment to excellence and teamwork in advancing development for the benefit of all.

Dubai launches world's first human–machine collaboration classification for content transparency
Dubai has launched a series of icons to establish whether content is created by humans, AI or a combination of both. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Dubai Future Foundation, approved the launch of the world's first Human–Machine Collaboration (HMC) classification system. The HMC system introduces a global framework designed to differentiate between the roles of humans and intelligent machines in the creation of creative, scientific, academic, and intellectual content. Dubai launches AI content classification The system applies to areas such as research, publishing, writing, design, and more. Sheikh Hamdan said: 'Distinguishing between human creativity and artificial intelligence has become a real challenge in light of today's rapid technological advances. 'This calls for a new approach to recognise the growing role of intelligent machines. That's why we launched the world's first Human–Machine Collaboration Icons, a classification system that brings transparency to how research documents, publications, and content are created'. He invited global stakeholders—researchers, writers, publishers, designers, and content creators—to adopt the new classification system and use it responsibly. All Dubai Government entities have also been directed to begin using the framework in their research and knowledge-based outputs. Developed by the Dubai Future Foundation, the HMC system provides visual icons to represent the degree of collaboration between human and machine in content creation. It enhances transparency and helps readers, researchers, and decision-makers better understand the nature of authorship. Hamdan bin Mohammed approves the launch of a global classification system that enables in differentiating between the role of humans and machines in the research, production, and publication of creative, scientific, academic, and intellectual content. Developed by the Dubai… — Dubai Media Office (@DXBMediaOffice) July 16, 2025 There are five primary classifications: All human: Created entirely by a human with no machine involvement Human led: Human-produced content enhanced by machine (e.g., for accuracy or editing) Machine assisted: Collaborative process where human and machine worked together Machine led: Machine generated most of the content, with humans reviewing it All Machine: Fully machine-generated with no human input Furthermore, there are nine functional sub-classifications. Icons are also available to specify the stage of collaboration, including: Ideation Literature review Data collection Data Analysis Data Interpretation Writing Translation Visuals Design The icon-based system is flexible and can be applied across sectors and formats, including images and videos. While it does not assign specific percentages to the machine's role, it enables transparent disclosure of involvement—supporting greater clarity in an era of increasing reliance on AI, automation tools, and generative technologies. Dubai's initiative is a global first and aims to establish a standard for responsible disclosure and ethical use of intelligent machines in content creation and knowledge production.

Hamdan bin Mohammed approves launch of pioneering human-machine collaboration classification system
H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Dubai Future Foundation, today approved the launch of a global classification system that enables in differentiating between the role of humans and machines in the research, production, and publication of creative, scientific, academic, and intellectual content. H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed said, 'Distinguishing between human creativity and artificial intelligence has become a real challenge in light of today's rapid technological advances. This calls for a new approach to recognise the growing role of intelligent machines. That's why we launched the world's first Human–Machine Collaboration Icons, a classification system that brings transparency to how research documents, publications, and content are created. 'We invite researchers, writers, publishers, designers, and content creators around the world to adopt this new global classification system and use it responsibly and in ways that benefit people,' He added. H.H. Sheikh Hamdan directed all Dubai Government entities to start adopting the system in their research and knowledge-based endeavours. The Human–Machine Collaboration (HMC) classification system, developed by the Dubai Future Foundation, is designed to enhance transparency in research and content production. It offers a visual representation that enables readers, researchers, and decision-makers to understand how much of a given output was shaped by intelligent machines, across fields such as research, design, and publishing. Such fields are increasingly becoming reliant on machines and automation technologies. The classification defines 'intelligent machines' as a broad category encompassing various digital technologies, including algorithms, automation tools, generative AI models, and robotics, or any technological system that plays a role in the research or content creation process. The HMC system introduces five primary icons that indicate the extent of collaboration between humans and intelligent machines: All Human: Content is fully produced by a human with no machine involvement. Human led: Human-produced content enhanced or checked by machine for accuracy, correction, or improvement. Machine assisted: Humans and machines worked together iteratively to produce content. Machine led: Machine took the lead in producing the content, with humans verifying quality and accuracy. All Machine: Content was entirely generated by machine with no human input. In addition to the five primary icons, the system also includes nine functional icons that indicate where in the process human–machine collaboration occurred. These cover ideation, literature review, data collection, data analysis, data interpretation, writing, translation, visuals, and design. The icon system is designed to be flexible and adaptable across sectors, industries, and content formats, including image and video outputs. While it does not assign percentages or exact weights to the contribution of machine, it enables creators to disclose involvement transparently, acknowledging that evaluation often relies on personal judgement.
