What happened
During the Sharjah Investment Forum 2026, Maria Sanchez outlined how an Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund is utilizing artificial intelligence. The AI is used to test investment proposals, providing alternative arguments for investment committees, while human reviewers verify the analysis. The technology also supports procurement applications, helping with purchase requests, contract awards, and budget checks.
