SDAIA Launches Professional Training Programme In Generative AI With NVIDIA For Enhanced Skills Development

The Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA) has introduced a new Professional Training Program in Generative AI. This initiative, offered through the Generative AI Academy in partnership with NVIDIA, aims to equip specialists with advanced skills in large language models and multimodal models. Participants will also have the opportunity to earn NVIDIA professional certifications, enhancing their expertise in this field.

The training program focuses on several key areas. It covers building and customizing generative AI models and using parallel computing to speed up the development of large language models. Participants will learn to design advanced applications based on these models and deploy them effectively in production settings while maintaining sustainable performance.

Available both in-person and remotely, the program will be held in Riyadh and Dhahran. Registration for the Dhahran session begins on Sunday, December 15, with the program commencing shortly after for a duration of one month. Details regarding registration for the Riyadh-based and remote sessions will be shared later.

To apply, candidates must hold a PhD or master's degree in deep learning or a bachelor's degree in AI. Alternatively, a bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering with an AI focus, including deep learning coursework, is acceptable. Interested individuals can register through SDAIA's official website.

This initiative is part of SDAIA's broader strategy to boost national capabilities in generative AI. By equipping local talent with cutting-edge skills that align with global advancements, the program supports Saudi Vision 2030's goals of fostering innovation and technology-driven growth.

The training not only enhances individual skill sets but also contributes to building a sustainable future grounded in technological innovation. This aligns with Saudi Arabia's vision of becoming a leader in AI by developing homegrown expertise that meets international standards.
