Abu Dhabi’s AI Boardroom: The Future Is Now
AI co-directs board meetings. It observes. It questions. It refines strategy. Abu Dhabi’s corporations are adopting artificial intelligence as a full-fledged boardroom player with Aleria.

A board member that never sleeps
Samia Bouazza, CEO of Multiply Group, doesn’t rely solely on instinct. She consults a virtual board developed by Aleria, a strategic AI company based in Abu Dhabi. “It challenges my decisions,” she says. This isn’t a gadget—it’s a partner in leadership.
When AI joins the board
Multiply Group’s main shareholder, IHC, recently appointed Aiden Insight, an artificial intelligence entity, as a board observer. No votes. No ego. But data-driven feedback. It listens and guides in silence. The result: sharper oversight.
Strategy in real time
Aiden Insight processes both internal KPIs and macro trends. It simulates outcomes, exposes blind spots, and strengthens executive focus. This is more than analytics : it’s real-time decision augmentation.
Governance redefined
While some global boards debate AI ethics, Abu Dhabi executes. The integration of AI in Multiply’s boardroom reflects a broader shift: sovereign digital infrastructure, institutional AI, and performance over protocol.
The blueprint is already here
This movement is chronicled in The Daily Era, where Abu Dhabi’s model is described as a glimpse into the future of governance. Bouazza’s testimony, shared on LinkedIn, underscores this shift: “It questions me. And that’s the point.”
