“The Fourth Industrial Revolution led to an exponential surge in the amount of data we deal with in organizations and governments around the world. It is only through the application of AI analytics that we can draw real value and insight from this data, using it to both inform and achieve our national development priorities. Platforms like the MBZUAI Executive Program are imperative to expanding the AI capabilities of individuals and entire organizations.”
