OpenAI and Abu Dhabi launch machine-readable government initiative

The emirate is turning a defined set of rules into code that AI systems can read, starting with food import compliance Abu Dhabi wants its rulebook to be legible to machines, not just lawyers. On November 2, 2026, the Abu Dhabi Government and OpenAI launched Machine-Readable Government (MRG), which the partners describe as the world’s first AI-native government initiative. The idea is simple to state and hard to pull off. A defined set of government policies and regulations gets converted into a format AI systems can process, so those systems can help officials work through complicated compliance decisions.
