Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Responsible AI for Social Empowerment and Education (RAISE) initiative is hosting the Day of AI Global Summit in Dubai to advance artificial intelligence for education and economic growth.
MIT’s RAISE initiative has partnered with DP World to mark the first international edition of the AI programme, which aims to equip teachers and students worldwide with the skills needed to thrive in an AI-enabled future.
It will seek to make 250,000 teachers and 6 million students around the world AI-literate within the next 12 months.
The event will see the World Bank share perspectives on advancing inclusive AI in education and economic development, alongside ministers from the UAE, Rwanda, Latvia, Colombia, Kazakhstan and other nations who will outline national strategies to accelerate the responsible adoption of AI in learning.
DP World Group Chairman and CEO, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, said: “Education and innovation are true engines of progress.
“By partnering with MIT RAISE to bring the Day of AI Global Summit to Dubai, we are investing not only in technology, but in people.
“We are ensuring that students and teachers everywhere have the tools to thrive in the age of artificial intelligence.
“The UAE has long championed technology as a force for good, and this partnership reflects our shared commitment to shaping a smarter, more inclusive future for the world.”
