UAE has launched the Artificial Intelligence Academy to develop a new generation of AI leaders
The UAE has started a project called the Artificial Intelligence Academy with the goal of producing a new generation of leaders in AI.
By integrating cutting-edge research with practical industrial insights, the academy enhances the Middle East's standing in the global AI innovation arena.
The Polynom Group and the Abu Dhabi School of Management joined together to develop the AI Academy, which provides a range of brief courses tailored for technical professionals, executives, and high-ranking government officials.
The core ideas of AI, national AI plans, generative AI tools, and executive-level applications that help leaders access different sectors will all be covered in these programs.
These brief courses will serve as the foundation for larger initiatives to increase AI capacity and will be offered in a variety of languages.
Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, was present when the strategic cooperation agreement was formally inked at the yearly professional AI event known as "The Machines Can See Summit."
The Academy will also introduce the Chief AI Officer (CAIO) Program after the initial launch. This ground-breaking three- to four-month leadership program aims to equip the next generation of AI decision-makers. The curriculum, which consists of eight advanced courses, gives participants a thorough foundation in AI strategy, governance, and implementation across a variety of industries, including public administration, healthcare, and finance.
Participants will get firsthand knowledge of the most recent findings and advancements in fields including computer vision, big language models, sovereign AI, and AI ethics by attending unique seminars hosted by top scientists and executives from the global business.
The AI Academy facilitates startup incubation, networking opportunities, and cooperative research projects.
