In line with government directives to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) systems, the Police Operations Training Department at the General Department of Protective Security and Emergency of Dubai Police held a dialogue session with police training specialists.

The session aimed to explore the future of using artificial intelligence in training human resources, thereby supporting ongoing efforts to enhance safety and security by keeping pace with the latest advancements and modern technologies.
