UAE residents outsourcing their brains to AI: Are we losing our minds?

In the United Arab Emirates, artificial intelligence is no longer a niche technology used only by tech companies. It is becoming an integral part of how people think, shop, work, plan and even solve day-to-day problems. As AI adoption accelerates, many residents are turning to chatbots and generative AI assistants not just for simple queries, but for complex decision-making, creativity and personalised support.

Reports and surveys show that AI use in the UAE is among the highest in the world, with generative AI tools integrated into work, study and personal life.
