Gulf Times, 5 January 2026: Qatar has unveiled an AI‑driven “Smart Legislative Advisor,” which is a national system designed to modernise how laws are drafted, analysed, and quality‑checked across government.

The new platform marks the first phase of a major digital governance project developed by the Council of Ministers Secretariat General in partnership with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology. It provides legislative teams with advanced analytical tools to enhance precision, speed and consistency of drafting and reviewing legal texts.

Key functions include comparative analysis of regional and international legislation, automated checks for alignment with Qatar’s Constitution and existing legal framework, and linguistic and proofreading review tools that help ensure clarity and compliance. These features collectively form an integrated quality‑assurance system intended to elevate the overall standard of legislative output.

Officials overseeing the initiative have described it as a strategic step in strengthening Qatar’s institutional capabilities. The system is built to support—not replace—human legal expertise. It aims to streamline workflows for legislative departments, reduce manual bottlenecks, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of legal drafting processes.

The programme follows a Cabinet approval issued last October and forms part of a broader national push toward smart governance.
