CAUTION: no official source confirms the title, date and status; the record rests on secondary sources. Recheck of 18 Oct 2026. Stored: the UAE Government portal (u.ae) page on the charter in English (snapshots of 16 and 18 Oct 2026, which differ only in page furniture) and in Arabic (18 Oct 2026); both were last updated on 3 Jul 2026. They confirm the English and Arabic titles, the objectives, the twelve principles and the expected outcomes, but give no issue date, issuing body or legal status. The charter PDF on ai.gov.ae (official_url) and the charter's entry on the UAE legislation portal (uaelegislation.gov.ae) refused the archiver (HTTP 403, also in a browser). The issuing body (the Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications Office) and the date (July 2024: the PDF sits in an upload folder dated 2024/07 and press reports give a launch on 30 July 2024; the legislation portal is said to give 10 June 2024 as the issue date) rest on the previous record and press reports, not on a stored source.
