David Bintliff says: "We were delighted to be asked to write the UAE Chapter for the 2019 edition of the TMT Review. In 2019 we expect the UAE to consolidate its position as a pioneer in technological advancements and innovation involving AI, Smart Cities, Robotics and Communications underpinned by a national strategy to create a diversified, knowledge-based economy through digital transformation. The disruptive effect of new technologies presents regulatory challenges in the adoption and interpretation of existing and future laws which we discuss in the Chapter."
