A Committee of Emirati experts evaluated the outputs to identify which models demonstrated the strongest cultural understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following Gemini 2.5 Pro, the list of the top five high-performing models included:ChatGPT (OpenAI GPT-4o), ChatGPT (OpenAI o1), Cohere, and Grok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>His Excellency Omar Sultan Al Olama<\/strong>, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications, emphasized that national identity remains a priority for the UAE, especially as digital transformation accelerates. <strong>Al Olama<\/strong> noted that emerging technologies must reflect and reinforce the country\u2019s authentic values, ensuring that AI systems enhance save the UAE\u2019s cultural heritage forward with clarity and respect.His Excellency stressed that innovation is strongest when it is anchored in the roots of a nation\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Underscoring the urgency of culturally grounded AI, less than 5% of Arabic content worldwide exists in digital form, while 48% of Generation Z now relies on AI as their primary source of information, a reality that makes training models on accurate, UAE-relevant cultural data essential to safeguarding national heritage for future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Full report link available here: : <a
