The Camp’s objective is to provide talented young adults with artificial intelligence and advanced technology skills, in order to encourage them to develop innovative solutions for future challenges by utilising the experiences they gain through participation in virtual events, talks and interactive workshops organised all over the UAE.
This is the third iteration of the UAE AI Summer Camp, which has witnessed a growing demand and wide participation. Nearly 10,000 students from different education levels participated in its first and second editions of the Camp.
Omar Bin Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications, stated that the UAE government, led by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, employs all its national initiatives, projects and programmes to enable the UAE’S youth and students to acquire and practice their knowledge in the field of artificial intelligence, which is one of the most important tools of the future, in order to actively participate in designing the future of their country and serving their community.
He added that the significance of the AI Camp lies in its ability to provide the youth with an opportunity to participate in realistic and exciting experiences in emerging technology, and directly introduces them to technological developments and supports their thinking. The initiative trains the youth to apply these technologies in their studies, work and future projects, which contributes to building a generation that is well-versed with future technology and is able to employ such technology in the development of various vital sectors.
