His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, attended the graduation ceremony on Wednesday along with other senior UAE leaders.

Graduates presented 27 innovative projects tackling challenges in areas like operational efficiency, support for People of Determination, student success, and online crime detection.

Each project centred on practical strategies for training in AI systems and leveraging data to address real-world challenges faced by various entities.

Since its launch, the programme has trained more than 370 professionals from both government and private sectors, helping position the UAE as a global leader in AI by equipping national talent with cutting-edge tools and knowledge.
