Doha, October 26 (QNA) - HE Minister of Municipality Abdullah bin Hamad bin Abdullah Al Attiyah affirmed that the launch of the AI-powered building permit issuance system represents a qualitative national achievement that enhances the country's digital transformation process and places it at the forefront of countries employing AI technologies in government services.

In a speech marking the Ministry of Municipality's inauguration of the AI-powered permit issuance system, His Excellency noted that it represents a pioneering step that embodies the country's drive to accelerate digital transformation and enhance the quality and efficiency of government services, aligning with Qatar National Vision 2030 and the Third National Development Strategy.
