Duration

Three consecutive days

Artificial intelligence is here to stay, and we all have noticed how this incredible technology has changed not only the business world, but also the individual lives of millions of people around the globe. In the wake of the fourth industrial revolution, governments and businesses across the Middle East have realized the global shift towards AI and advanced technologies. AI has the potential to fundamentally disrupt markets in the Middle East through the creation of innovative new services and entirely new business models. There is so much potential and endless opportunities awaiting to be explored. In Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, we made it our mission to bridge the gap in AI knowledge in our home country UAE and internationally. Helping the leadership and the community to have the necessary awareness of the transformative features of AI and relevant skills, is crucial in increasing AI capacity and usage on a country level. We need to prepare our society to adapt to potential disruptions resulting from widespread AI adoption and it all starts from our visionary leaders: YOU!
