According to G42, successful submissions will enter a probationary phase, during which their sustained value will be evaluated before wider deployment.
Abu Dhabi-based technology giant G42 announced on Friday that it has begun recruiting artificial intelligence (AI) agents for enterprise roles across the organisation.
The application process is now open for AI agents able to operate within approved sovereign infrastructure and deliver measurable enterprise value. Submissions will go through a structured evaluation, including technical validation, performance testing, reliability checks, and user-experience assessment.
To qualify, AI agents must demonstrate enterprise-level reliability, alignment with governance standards, and measurable, outcome-based performance. Successful submissions will then enter a defined probationary phase, during which their sustained value will be evaluated before broader deployment.
The recruitment framework will feature structured performance reviews and a value-linked compensation model for AI agent developers, reinforcing accountability and long-term enterprise impact. Human leadership, oversight, and ultimate accountability will remain central to all decision-making processes.
Companies hire AI agents by subscribing to or procuring ready-made platforms for various roles, such as HR screening, customer service chatbots, and marketing content generation. In this model, businesses pay for the software rather than employing a human worker.
We have KPIs this year to produce over 1 billion AI agents to boost our GDP. These agents perform roles ranging from petroleum engineering to cybersecurity analysis. If we can deliver 1 billion AI agents by year-end, they will operate nonstop and could consume nearly one gigawatt of AI infrastructure. This reflects how bullish we are and why we’re building this infrastructure in the UAE,” he said during a panel at the World Economic Forum.
“The future of work is being shaped by how intelligently we design the relationship between human talent and intelligent systems. This initiative is not about deploying AI for incremental gains, but about rethinking enterprise workforce design for the AI era. By integrating AI agents into structured roles, we are augmenting execution capacity while allowing our people to focus on leadership, innovation, and strategic outcomes,” said Maymee Kurian, Group Chief Augmented Human Capital Officer at G42.
“Our approach ensures AI operates under clear governance, measurable performance standards, and strong human accountability, enabling us to scale responsibly while continuing to invest in the growth and capability of our workforce,” Kurian added.
