UAE: Enhanced MBZUAI Executive Programme keeps pace with fast-changing AI market demands

Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) has announced the enhanced MBZUAI Executive Programme (MEP) as it welcomes its fifth cohort of 44 senior leaders.

With a strong focus on industry, MEP has a renewed focus on applying and implementing artificial intelligence (AI) principles across sectors.

Participants from government, energy, finance, law, transport and logistics, health, sports, and education will learn from real-world projects, policy development, and ethics.

The enhanced programme contributes to the evolution of a strong regional and global AI community to support and advance UAE organisations’ development and enable vital digital transformation.

The MEP modules are now in-person and spread over 16 weeks, and the course includes four chapters and seven modules. Four new chapters have been added, including AI and its Current Paradigm Shift, AI Fundamentals, AI-Driven Industry Transformations, and AI Strategy, Policymaking, and Ethics.

The fifth edition of the MEP celebrates gender balance, with 43 per cent of participants being female.

It will also include the opportunity to attend an international trip enabling participants to witness real-world examples of AI applications from major technology organisations with a global perspective and to learn from the best practices within AI-specific industries.
