Abu Dhabi-based artificial intelligence firm Presight has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Abu Dhabi Police General Headquarters to develop and deploy advanced AI technologies for policing and public safety.

The partnership aims to integrate Presight’s AI-Policing Suite – a modular system featuring generative AI, AI agents and data analytics – with the operational systems of Abu Dhabi Police.

The goal is to enhance crime prevention, improve emergency response, and lay the groundwork for AI-enabled smart cities.

“This collaboration supports our efforts to maintain public safety through innovation,” said major general and engineer Nasir Sultan Al-Yabhouni, who is the director of the Leadership Affairs Sector at Abu Dhabi Police. “It strengthens our officers’ ability to respond faster and make smarter decisions,” he added.

Presight, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi tech group G42 and listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), said the partnership reflects a growing global trend toward predictive and data-driven policing.

“This agreement marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of AI-driven public safety,” said Mohammed AlMheiri, CBO for Public Safety & Security at Presight. “Together, we are enabling a new era of proactive law enforcement defined by operational agility and enhanced decision-making.”

Presight said its tools, such as real-time threat detection, digital forensics, and intelligent digital investigators, will be used to support crime analysis and help modernise police operations.

The agreement also includes a commitment to explore ethical frameworks for the use of AI in policing.

The move supports Abu Dhabi’s ambition to position itself as a hub for smart city innovation and AI adoption, building on broader national goals for digital transformation and public sector modernisation.
