National Program for Artificial Intelligence in the UAE and the University of Oxford
The program is primarily aimed to government officials, it also welcomes the private sectors’ employees and interested UAE residents. The main goal of the program is to empower officials with the understanding and skills required to contribute to the UAE’s journey towards its 2071 centennial goals.
The program will enable each participant to become an AI expert in their field equipped with a thorough knowledge and understanding of the different trends and uses of AI, methods of adoption, and approaches to tackling security and ethical risks.
Learning Objectives
To understand what Artificial Intelligence is, the technologies it encompasses, and the role it promises to play in our future lives.
To acquire skills in data collection, interpretation, and analysis applicable to an AI empowered environment.
To develop an action for the adoption of AI technology in the participants’ organization.
To understand and be able to explain the potential positive and negative impacts of AI adoption in a wide variety of contexts.
To strengthen participants’ abilities to analyse, understand, and interpret information about AI systems.
To gain a thorough appreciation of the security and ethical risks and connected with AI adoption and to understand approaches to tackling these.
To learn how to enhance strategic planning for the adoption of AI.

One of the most memorable days for me was when I graduated from UAE’s Artificial Intelligence Program at the EXPO 2020. I would like to thank everyone who has been a part of this journey and hope that in the future I can reciprocate the support you all have provided.
A great program that equipped me with the required skills and knowledge needed to drive the efforts towards adopting Artificial Intelligence in the government in the right direction.
