Dubai is making a significant leap toward its goal of becoming a global AI hub by announcing its training of 10,000 artificial intelligence specialists by 2030. This initiative is part of the newly launched Dubai AI Academy and is part of the city’s vision to expand the AI ecosystem to drive its economy
The academy was announced during Dubai AI Week and will offer short courses on machine learning, data science, AI ethics, and business leadership.
They will partner with some of the world’s most prestigious institutions like Oxford Saïd, Udacity, and Minerva. The Academy aims to train government personnel, business leaders, and young professionals with the desired skill set for the AI industry. Dubai wants to grow its AI contribution to GDP from $3.5 billion currently to $46 billion + by 2030. This major increase supports their longer-term strategic aim of establishing the city as a global tech and innovation hub.
Dubai is cultivating an AI-ready workforce for the future, and continuing to position the city as a global leader in AI development and innovation through investment in education and a digital talent ecosystem.
