Two Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) Executive Program (MEP) teams presented their winning AI sustainability solutions at last night\u2019s graduation ceremony for the program\u2019s second and third cohorts held at the university\u2019s Masdar City campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year\u2019s graduation witnessed 83 of the UAE\u2019s top\u00a0CEOs, director generals, and executive directors. Graduates spent 12 weeks with globally renowned instructors from UC Berkeley, Harvard, Carnegie Mellon, MIT, Oxford, and MBZUAI, learning about the rapidly evolving AI landscape and developing real world solutions they are now implementing in their organizations. Also among the graduates were two sponsored seats for NGO participants to ensure AI awareness and growth in the charitable and not-for-profit sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The culmination of the program is a set of capstone projects where participants applied their learnings to deliver genuine impact in critical areas such as health, security, logistics, environment, education, finance, and energy. The graduates developed 14 collaborative projects focused on real-world national and global challenges. For example, in line with the UAE\u2019s designation of 2023 as the Year of Sustainability, the program empowered participants to tackle challenges related to climate change by equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge to develop AI-enabled solutions in the run up to COP28 UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCongratulations to our 83 participants, who successfully completed your learning with MBZUAI. The University is privileged to train leaders from both public and private sectors to advance the UAE\u2019s national agenda in artificial intelligence and digital transformation,\u201d said MBZUAI President and University Professor Eric Xing. \u201cBy bringing in international luminaries of AI to Abu Dhabi, the program delivers a completely unique AI learning experience. With the knowledge and skills gained from the program,\u00a0I trust you will go on to drive social transformation and economic growth through innovative AI solutions in your respective organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
