The UAE National Program for Artificial Intelligence and the National Program for Coders, in partnership with the General Secretariat of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), has hosted two specialized workshops under the UAE Artificial Intelligence Camp 2025.
The workshops aimed to deepen attendees’ understanding of AI technologies and their real-world applications, with a strong focus on preparing governments, institutions, and entities for the rise of AI agents. These sessions were designed to strengthen participants’ capabilities in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and future sciences while fostering regional cooperation in digital innovation.
The initiative aligns with the UAE’s broader national objectives of equipping youth and professionals with the skills needed to navigate a rapidly evolving digital landscape. The workshops delivered practical insights and strategies for evaluating Artificial Intelligence use cases, identifying success factors in implementation, and applying global examples to real-world scenarios.
The Participants of the workshops gained access to working models that can inform digital transformation strategies across various sectors. Topics explored included the role of AI agents, government-focused use cases, how Artificial Intelligence agents function, and the viability of using them to support or replace human roles. The sessions encouraged participants to envision practical AI integration in their respective fields.
Since its launch, the UAE Artificial Intelligence Camp has attracted more than 34,000 participants from diverse educational and professional backgrounds. The camp’s broad engagement reflects growing national interest in emerging technologies and digital upskilling.
Organizers emphasized that such initiatives are vital to preparing the region’s future innovators, coders, and decision-makers to lead in a tech-driven era.
The program covers seven key themes:
The future of artificial intelligence
Data science and machine learning
Smart applications in education, healthcare, and finance
Web and robotics development
Artificial Intelligence: governance and ethics
Cybersecurity
Virtual and augmented reality
Dr. Abdulrahman Al Mahmoud, Director at the Office of Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications, affirmed that the UAE Artificial Intelligence Camp serves as an inspiring model for international and regional cooperation, aimed at enhancing youth capabilities and skills, and channeling their energy toward innovation and digital creativity.
He noted that the participation of the General Secretariat of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in the camp comes within the framework of supporting joint Gulf cooperation in the fields of digital transformation and artificial intelligence.
Al Mahmoud added that regional collaboration is a cornerstone for strengthening technological readiness and unifying efforts toward a sustainable digital future that keeps pace with rapid developments and fulfills the aspirations of societies.
