Event details
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum gave the UAE a public deadline: move 50% of government services to autonomous, agentic AI within two years, and train every federal employee on AI as part of the shift. That's a two-year countdown, and it resets what "AI literate" has to mean for professionals in every sector, not just government.
In this 60-minute NexPulse conversation, UAE-based AI and government-delivery strategist Ayman Itani (Founder, Think Media Labs; Adjunct Professor of AI Strategy, Hult International Business School) joins a live discussion on the role most organizations are already hiring for but haven't named yet: the AI Translator, the person with enough technical fluency and business judgment to turn AI output into a decision. Expect an unscripted, question-led conversation, open to Nexford's global community of 100,000+ professionals across 90+ countries.
This conversation runs alongside Nexford's B.S. in AI for Business and MS in AI & Technology Management, two programs built around exactly this skill set.
