The UAE Public Prosecution is heading to GITEX Global 2025 with a clear brief: make criminal justice faster, more accurate and more transparent—without ditching human oversight. Expect new pilots, an ethics framework for AI, and a policy paper that ties it all together. You’ll find the team at the TDRA Pavilion (H18–B10) at Dubai World Trade Centre from 13–17 October 2025.
Prosecution of the Future: what’s actually new
Two flagship builds—Virtual Prosecutor Assistant and Legislation Digitization—aim to speed up cases and cut admin, while keeping an audit trail prosecutors can trust.
- “Virtual Prosecutor Assistant” supports case flow from report to resolution with secure tracking and instant access to the right files.
- “Legislation Digitization” converts laws into machine-readable rules, linking actions to conditions and penalties.
- Targets: faster charge classification, automated judgment entry, and cleaner data sharing across the justice stack.
Prosecutors lose hours to document hunting and manual look-ups. A searchable, linked legal layer plus a case assistant could remove the paper chase and reduce slip-ups, provided the audit trail is robust and every automated step is explainable. The Public Prosecution says both are in its scope under “Prosecution of the Future 2045” and its AI Strategy 2025–2030.
Bayan: smart translation built for courtrooms
"Bayan” is an AI-powered translation pilot designed for live investigations and trials, with voice/text both ways, dialect support, and evidence-grade logs.
- Live interpretation with dialect recognition, including Emirati.
- Speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and OCR from files/images.
- Secure recording storage as certified legal references, plus a governance dashboard.
Real-time accuracy is the difference between a clean record and an appeal. A built-in legal dictionary and governance controls suggest this is built for chain-of-custody and quality assurance, not just convenience. The pilot launches at GITEX.

An AI Ethics Charter with teeth
A new AI Ethics Charter and Governance Policy sets rules for transparency, explainability, privacy, risk control—and keeps humans in the loop.
- Framework for responsible adoption and management of intelligent systems.
- Human oversight at every stage; focus on decision quality and public trust.
- Designed for smart justice operations, not just IT.
AI in justice needs guardrails. The stated approach—transparency, explainability and privacy by design—matches what courts and defence lawyers will expect before they accept machine support in critical decisions.

Youth debate and a panel on ethics
There’s a youth debate—“Virtual Witness or ChatGPT: In the Balance of Criminal Justice”—plus a panel on ethical AI governance in criminal justice.
- Focus on where AI sits in evidence and process.
- Public engagement to test the ethics charter in the open.
Getting the next generation to question “AI as witness” is smart. It forces clarity on what counts as evidence, who validates it, and how rights are protected when machines are in the room.
GETS 2025 white paper: lessons and a roadmap
A new white paper packages outcomes from the Governance of Emerging Technologies Summit (May 2025) into a sector-by-sector matrix, an ethics framework, and recommendations for justice.
- Executive summary and deep-dive analysis of the summit.
- Challenges/opportunities by sector and tech, plus terminology and indicators.
- National and international recommendations, aimed at the justice ecosystem.
Policy only works if implementers can map it to daily tasks—charge selection, evidence handling, sentencing inputs. A structured matrix hints at practical adoption, not just principles.
