Al Falahi added that the automated chat on WhatsApp is available in both Arabic and English. Currently, there are 64 information services available, including the renewal of vehicle registration, and an introduction about nol card, abra, etc. RTA is keen to expand the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

"The automated chat service is quick when it comes to responding to customers' inquiries, without human intervention. The initiative uses AI technologies and natural language processing algorithms. Such smart services and channels aim to keep pace with UAE and RTA's Strategies for AI," he added.
