His Excellency the Minister of Justice and Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs Ibrahim bin Ali bin Issa al-Hassan al-Mohannadi<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

His Excellency the Minister of Justice and Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs Ibrahim bin Ali bin Issa al Hassan al- Mohannadi said Tuesday that Qatar prioritises leveraging digital and cutting-edge technologies in supporting and strengthening legal and legislative government efficiency as part of the nation\u2019s strategic transition towards a knowledge-based economy.<\/p>\n

Addressing a panel discussion within the third Web Summit Qatar 2026, the minister added that organising this global technological event embodies the national path toward digital transformation, demonstrating Qatar\u2019s standing as a global platform that convenes tech and innovation minds, as well as high-ranking global investors, alongside founders and heads of enterprises specialising in tech fields.<\/p>\n

He recalled the Smart Legislative Advisor initiative that had been launched by the Council of Ministers Secretariat General as part of a bundle of ambitious initiatives that keep up with Qatar\u2019s digital agenda 2030, including the interactive electronic platform for procedures of preparing government legislation.<\/p>\n

HE al-Mohannadi clarified that this initiative broadly leverages AI-powered tools in preparing, reviewing, and unpacking legislations, as well as upgrading accuracy and quality levels, in addition to reducing legal review duration up to seven times compared to the previous situation. These initiatives are executed in tandem with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), the minister outlined.<\/p>\n

Al-Mohannadi recalled that this programme will trigger a paradigm shift in government legislative work, whose idea evolved from a similar successive experience at the Ministry of Municipality to streamline the procedures of building permits through leveraging artificial intelligence to address the challenges of legislative work in terms of scale, complexity, and time required.<\/p>\n

The minister highlighted the implementation of the programme in co-operation with Scale AI, spearheaded by MCIT, noting that it contributed to reducing the legislative processing and review time from almost 35 days to nearly five days, while enhancing accuracy, consistency, and the quality of legislative outputs, and maintaining full human oversight and professional legal responsibility.<\/p>\n

He called on innovators, technologists, and policymakers to engage in responsible dialogue on practical challenges, and to propose ideas that are testable and to develop to serve the legal sector in the country.<\/p>\n

In response to a question regarding the priority of digital transformation in the Ministry of Justice, al-Mohannadi emphasised Qatar\u2019s belief that technology is the future, as reflected in the Ministry\u2019s Strategic Plan 2025-2030, which is witnessing a comprehensive digital transformation of its projects and services, with nearly 90% of its services having been converted into digital services.<\/p>\n

He added that digital transformation in the legal sector boosts speed and efficiency, but it also enhances trust, accessibility, and strengthens the rule of law. He noted that technology was an enabling tool to achieve better justice, not a substitute for legal responsibility or adherence to professional standards.<\/p>\n

Regarding collaboration with partners and innovators, the minister noted that digital transformation of the legal sector represents a strategic national priority, affirming Qatar\u2019s pursuit of building a flexible and transparent legal and judicial ecosystem that meets the needs of citizens and investors.<\/p>\n

He referred to the issuance of Law No 19 of 2025 amending certain provisions of the Legal Profession Law as a transformational step to enhance the role of the legal profession and support the private sector, alongside efforts to modernise the legislative framework and build partnerships with the private sector, academic, and international institutions.<\/p>\n

HE al-Mohannadi elucidated that the Doha Legal Forum, whose inaugural edition recently concluded, aligns with this approach, alongside international platforms such as the Web Summit. <\/p>\n
