He added that the use of AI in Dewa's services and operations aims to reduce the number of visits to customer happiness centres and contribute to shaping a new digital future for Dubai through Digital Dewa, the authority's digital arm.

"This step to use ChatGPT in Rammas confirms our ongoing efforts to leverage the disruptive technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to accelerate digital transformation and provide advanced digital services with added value that enriches the experience and happiness of customers,” added Al Tayer.

Since its launch in the first quarter of 2017 until the end of April 2023, Rammas has answered more than seven million inquiries. ChatGPT will contribute to enhancing its capabilities due to its superior ability to interact with users and better understand their needs. It will also improve its ability to learn, understand, and analyse customer inquiries based on available data and information to respond promptly and accurately.

Dewa is working to enrich its services with ChatGPT. It is the first utility in the world and the first government organisation in the UAE to use this modern technology as part of its continuous efforts to enhance its leadership locally and globally.
