Meet Latifa: The UAE’s First-Ever AI Emirati Child

The UAE just gave the world its first-ever AI-powered Emirati child, and her name is Latifa. After a community-wide voting spree that pulled in almost 14,000 votes, Latifa came out on top with 43%. Mira trailed with 37%, while Dubai got 20%.

Say Hello to Her Family

Latifa isn’t rolling solo—she’s got a full virtual family with her: father Mohammed, mother Salama, and brother Rashid. Dressed in traditional Emirati wear with a modern twist, they’re designed to feel approachable, especially for kids and families.

Why It Matters

This isn’t just a cool digital stunt. Latifa’s family is the first digital model inspired by Emirati values, created to spark conversations around AI, tech, and community. The project falls under Digital Dubai’s “Year of the Community” initiatives, announced by President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

What’s Next

Latifa and her family will soon pop up across social media. Their mission? To act as digital ambassadors, tell stories about Dubai’s digital life, and encourage safe, responsible behavior online.
