The United Arab Emirates launched the white paper for the Responsible Metaverse Self-Governance Framework to secure the expansion of the metaverse economy, recognize obstacles, and seize opportunities in this exciting new field that will affect many important areas of the national economy.
This project represents an exciting new chapter in the UAE’s approach to the rapidly expanding metaverse market and was carried out in collaboration with the Dubai Digital Economy Taskforce (DubaiDET). The primary goal of this launch is to establish uniform minimum self-regulation guidelines and requirements for the use and operation of respirables in the metaverse.
Numerous governmental agencies, such as the United Arab Emirates, South Korea, Barbados, China, Singapore, and Norway, have begun to establish their online presence within the metaverse. These initiatives from all countries highlight how governments can greatly benefit from incorporating the metaverse into public services.
The first regulator to set up shop on the Sandbox platform for their metaverse headquarters was Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority in May 2022. On the other hand, the introduction of the framework for responsible self-governance represents the UAE’s proactive approach to embracing new technological frontiers.
The key areas of evolving priorities in metaverse governance are as follows: ‘Online and Transboundary Harm and Crime prevention, ‘Data Protection and Privacy’, ‘Sovereignty and Cybersecurity’, ‘Digital Well-being and Addiction’, ‘Protection of IP’, ‘Sustainability’, and ‘Advertisement.’
