The Future of AI in the GCC Post-NPM Landscape: A Comparative Analysis of Kuwait and the UAE

arXiv · Nov 8 · Policy Research

This study compares AI uptake in the UAE and Kuwait, analyzing how constitutional, collective-choice, and operational rules shape AI implementation and its impact on citizen centricity and public value creation. It finds that the UAE's concentrated authority and pro-innovation environment enable scaling AI initiatives, while Kuwait's dispersed governance and cautious approach limit progress despite similar resources. The research highlights the importance of vertical rule coherence over wealth in determining AI's public-value yield.

Cross-Document Topic-Aligned Chunking for Retrieval-Augmented Generation

arXiv · Nov 8 · NLP LLM

This paper introduces Cross-Document Topic-Aligned (CDTA) chunking to address knowledge fragmentation in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. CDTA identifies topics across documents, maps segments to topics, and synthesizes them into unified chunks. Experiments on HotpotQA and UAE legal texts show that CDTA improves faithfulness and citation accuracy compared to existing chunking methods, especially for complex queries requiring multi-hop reasoning.
