dubai police to launch ai road accident reporting system

Dubai’s Police department has unveiled a new AI-based accident reporting tool at GITEX 2023. The system offers a convenient way for Dubai motorists to report road accidents and submit evidence via the official Dubai police app. As well as identifying those responsible, the technology will also save valuable time and reduce manual tasks by up to 50%.

According to a spokesperson, the AI reporting platform is 90% complete and will be accessible to the general public in the near future.

Dubai Police representatives went on to explain that AI is able to assess liability and identify damage, generating an accident report to aid them in issuing red slips to responsible parties and green slips to those unaccountable.
