DUBAI, 20th May, 2025 (WAM) -- The Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government (MBRSG) has launched the “AI Ethics Assessment Programme”, which includes the IEEE CertifAIEd™ curriculum developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), as part of its executive education series of courses.
The programme is developed in collaboration with the UAE’s Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications Office, and will be held from 26th to 30th May 2025, at the MBRSG headquarters in Dubai.
The programme aims to develop institutional models for ethical and responsible use of smart technologies, in line with the UAE’s national strategy to firmly establish its global status as a leader in the AI sector and strengthen community awareness about the ethical aspects pertaining to AI systems.
This, in turn, resonates with the forward-thinking vision announced by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, to include AI as a subject in academic curricula and prepare a generation capable of shaping the future.
Furthermore, the programme is designed to enable participants to assess Autonomous Intelligent Systems (AIS) against benchmarks of transparency, accountability, privacy, and algorithmic bias mitigation, in line with the IEEE CertifAIEd™ framework.
Dr. Ali bin Sebaa Al Marri, Executive President of MBRSG, said, “Launching the AI Ethics Assessment Programme reaffirms our commitment at the Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government to thoroughly prepare our national talents to develop sound policies in the area of artificial intelligence, striking a balance between technological advancement and ethical responsibility. This, in turn, allows for establishing an advanced knowledge-based environment that supports the UAE’s vision to create an exemplary model in digital governance to be emulated around the world.”
The programme is designed for working professionals across various industries, specifically those in strategy, compliance, data governance, technology, and innovation.
The intensive training sessions cover various key subjects, including strategic principles and considerations regarding AI ethics, IEEE CertifAIEd™ criteria, ethical assessment of smart applications and services, and ethical considerations of generative AI. Also included are practical training sessions and an exam to earn the CertifAIEd™ Assessor qualification.
