Dubai - The four-day course enabled government officials to understand the key concepts behind AI and its application in their respective sectors.
The UAE government officials have successfully completed an ‘AI (artificial intelligence) for Leadership’ training programme that will enable them to tackle multiple challenges at their workplace.
The immersive training programme was held in collaboration with the world’s first graduate-level, research-based AI university, Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), and the Abu Dhabi School of Government (ADSG) and is in line with the UAE Strategy for Artificial Intelligence 2031.
The four-day course enabled government officials to understand the key concepts behind AI and its application in their respective sectors.
Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister for Industry and Advanced Technology and the chairman of MBZUAI’s board of trustees, said: “Through the training course, MBZUAI aims to build a thriving AI community in the UAE, encourage deeper dialogue and closer cooperation between the university and government stakeholders, attract leading experts to the region, and share expertise and knowledge in this field.
“This is a showcase of MBZUAI’s efforts to build this ecosystem by empowering government leaders to apply the concept in their respective organisations in order to better support the UAE’s national priorities and strengthen its knowledge economy, and advance the Fourth Industrial Revolution.”
Omar bin Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications and the chairman of MBZUAI’s advisory board, said: “It’s important to empower national leaders in government and economic sectors with the latest technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, expanding their expertise and knowledge, and introducing them to the most prominent future opportunities stemming from AI-enabled solutions.”
