TAMM

The UAE has heavily invested in AI, integrating it into daily life through apps like TAMM, which automates government services. The country established the world's first AI minister in 2017 and a graduate-level AI university in 2019. Despite regional tensions, UAE leaders remain committed to AI as a key to economic diversification beyond oil.

UAE telecoms giant e& has sold 12.5% of Careem Technologies back to Uber for $100 million, reducing its stake to 37.5% as it abandons its 'super app' ambitions. The decision follows challenges in executing the super app vision in the UAE, with TAMM consolidating public services and AI agents threatening the concept's viability. e& retains a put option to fully exit by late 2031.
