Scale AI, Qatar's MCIT and MoJ Sign Two Agreements for Justice Sector AI

Scale AI signed two cooperation agreements with Qatar's Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) and Ministry of Justice (MoJ) to develop AI-powered solutions for justice services, the Qatar Tribune reported. The pacts, signed on November 10, 2026, cover the Sakk and Shoor projects under the Government AI Program led by MCIT.

Sakk and Shoor Projects Under Qatar's Justice Ministry

Eman Al Kuwari, director of MCIT's Digital Innovation Department, signed for the ministry. Arij Mohsen Al Shammari, director of the Documentation Department and head of external centers, signed the Sakk agreement for MoJ, and Noor Al Zeinal, assistant director of the Litigation Affairs Department, signed the Shoor agreement. Amr Samir, Scale AI's regional director in Qatar, signed both for the company.

The Sakk project aims to develop an AI-powered solution to improve the efficiency of notarization and authentication services at MoJ, raise the accuracy and speed of procedures, and make it easier for customers to access services. The Shoor project aims to develop a digital solution that supports MoJ lawyers in managing state cases and conducting legal research by making legal information easier to access and analyze.

Both agreements fall under MCIT's Government AI Program and extend the strategic partnership the ministry established with Scale AI in February 2025. That five-year partnership aims to develop more than 50 AI-powered projects across government entities by 2029 and included the launch of the Alif Program to build the AI capabilities of government employees. The two projects build on earlier cooperation among the three parties in the legal field, which included the Smart Legislative Advisor program for drafting and reviewing legislation. That program aims to cut the legislative processing and review period from approximately 35 days to five days while maintaining human oversight and professional legal accountability.

Scale's Qatar and Government Work

Scale AI's work with Qatar sits alongside other government-facing activity in the company's records, according to akta.pro company records. In May 2026, the Pentagon's CDAO expanded its enterprise Production OTA agreement with Scale from a $100 million ceiling to $500 million, allowing any Department of War component to initiate Project Agreements without competitive solicitation. Scale also signed an MOU with the U.S. Department of Energy that month to support the Genesis Mission, an AI-for-science initiative linking Scale's infrastructure with national labs and advanced computing environments.

Earlier Qatar Agreements

Scale AI signed an agreement with UDC in October 2026 to establish a long-term home at UDC Tower in The Pearl Island, Doha, a nearly 2,000-square-meter office that builds on its five-year partnership with the State of Qatar and MCIT, The Peninsula Newspaper reported. Qatar University, MCIT and Scale AI are also collaborating to build a National Co-Advisor Platform that combines an AI-powered virtual assistant with analytical tools for academic advising, Business & Financial reported.

Alif Program and 2029 Targets

The February 2025 partnership sets a target of more than 50 AI-powered projects across government entities by 2029, and the Alif Program it included is aimed at building the AI capabilities of government employees.
