Abu Dhabi School Of Management And Polynome Group Collaborate To Launch AI Academy For Future Leaders

Polynome Group has introduced The AI Academy, an educational initiative focused on artificial intelligence in partnership with the Abu Dhabi School of Management. This academy aims to cultivate future AI leaders by merging advanced research with practical industry insights, enhancing the Middle East's role in global AI innovation. The strategic partnership was formalised at the "Machines Can See" summit, attended by Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence.

The AI Academy will initially offer short-format programmes designed for executives, government officials, and technical experts. These sessions will cover essential AI concepts, national strategies, generative AI tools, and executive applications. By making AI more accessible across sectors, these courses aim to build a strong foundation for broader capacity-building efforts. Available in multiple languages, they cater to diverse audiences.

Following this initial phase, the Academy plans to introduce the Chief AI Officer Programme (CAIO). This flagship leadership course spans three to four months and is structured into eight advanced modules. It aims to equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of AI strategy, governance, and deployment across various sectors like finance and healthcare.

Participants in the CAIO programme will benefit from exclusive seminars led by top scientists and global industry leaders. These sessions will provide exposure to cutting-edge research and innovations in fields such as computer vision and AI ethics. The seminars are designed to encourage meaningful discussions and offer practical insights for those shaping the region’s AI landscape.

In collaboration with NVIDIA, Polynome-AI Academy is committed to advancing practical AI education. This partnership will integrate NVIDIA’s expertise into select programmes, supporting the Academy’s mission to accelerate AI readiness and real-world application throughout the region.

Alexander Khanin, Founder of Polynome Group, expressed commitment to bridging scientific discovery with commercial applications of AI. He stated that partnering with Abu Dhabi School of Management and NVIDIA positions them to offer an unmatched educational experience that fosters innovation and responsible tech leadership.

Empowering Future Leaders

Dr. Tayeb Kamali, Chairman of the Board at Abu Dhabi School of Management, highlighted their excitement about collaborating with Polynome Group on launching the AI Academy. He emphasised that this initiative aims to equip regional leaders with tools needed to harness AI's transformative potential. It aligns with their commitment to innovation in management education and positioning the UAE as a hub for forward-thinking business leadership.

The academy will also serve as a platform for collaborative research projects, networking opportunities, and startup incubation. This initiative aligns with Polynome Group’s mission to promote ethical AI progress while empowering entrepreneurs and driving sustainable growth in AI-driven industries across the UAE.

This educational endeavour reflects a dedication to nurturing future changemakers who can lead purposefully in a technology-driven world. Through these efforts, The AI Academy seeks not only to educate but also inspire leaders who can navigate an increasingly data-centric environment effectively.
