The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has taken a significant leap forward in workplace safety with the launch of its innovative Smart Safety Tracker, a cutting-edge system powered by generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). Unveiled at Gitex Global 2025 by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE), this advanced tool aims to modernize field inspections and enhance regulatory oversight across workplaces in the UAE. The system leverages Deep Learning algorithms trained on thousands of real-world scenarios, enabling it to detect unsafe practices and health risks instantly. By analyzing field images and data, the Smart Safety Tracker identifies violations such as the absence of protective equipment, unsafe work practices, or hazardous material accumulation with unparalleled accuracy and speed. The GenAI component generates natural-language reports detailing the type, location, and severity of violations, along with recommended corrective actions. This innovation streamlines the inspection process, allowing field inspectors to focus on analysis and decision-making rather than routine tasks. Shayma Yousef Alawadhi, acting undersecretary of Labour Market Development & Regulation at MoHRE, emphasized that the project aligns with the UAE Government’s vision of public service excellence and innovation. Additionally, MoHRE introduced ‘The Eye,’ an AI-powered system for verifying documents, further enhancing the UAE’s push toward smart government services. Together, these initiatives underscore the UAE’s commitment to fostering safe, sustainable, and efficient workplaces.
