No problem. We’ll guide you step-by-step. All you need is curiosity and a desire to create. This program helps you understand how AI is shaping your future career and life - whether you love it, fear it, or want to challenge it. You’re even encouraged to question and debate its impact.

All sessions are held in-person at our industry partner’s venue in Dubai. The exact location will be shared once you’re admitted.
