A mother from Abu Dhabi is preparing a will that would require her child’s future guardians to consult ChatGPT when making major decisions about his upbringing if she dies while he is still young, in an unusual proposal that could test the role of artificial intelligence in estate planning.
The proposed 'Living Wishes Protocol' would allow the guardians to use a designated AI system, currently identified in the draft as ChatGPT, alongside a written record of the mother’s values, beliefs, parenting philosophy, and wishes for her son.
The AI would not be appointed as a guardian and would have no legal authority over the child. Instead, it would serve as an advisory tool to help human guardians consider how the mother’s recorded values might apply to situations.

"Since the start of the aggression against the Gulf Arab states, based on the aggressor’s mistaken assessment that they were the weakest link in a war we had sought to avoid, it has become clear that we are all targets and that our security is indivisible," Dr Gargash wrote on X, referring to the wider US-Iran war and Tehran attacks on Gulf states.
The UAE official also called for reviving joint Gulf action, stressing that Gulf security is a shared responsibility that cannot be neglected.
Dubai's marine transport network is set for a data-driven upgrade as the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) rolls out an enhanced Seasonal Network initiative powered by artificial intelligence and predictive analytics.
