- Thursday 5 October 2023 (14:30-17:30)
Join us for "The Future of Generative AI in Education" on Thursday 5th October.
Whichever direction generative AI takes in the future, one thing is certain – youth and education will be at its heart. Ahead of the Dubai AI Assembly, the University of Birmingham Dubai is bringing its global network and expertise to bear on key challenges – and opportunities – relating to generative AI.
The University of Birmingham Dubai is convening students, academics, as well as public and private sector leaders to take on the biggest questions around generative AI. As well as challenging the UAE’s brightest young minds to apply generative AI to real world tasks, pushing its known boundaries, the university will provide young people with a platform to discuss AI with leading government figures and business luminaries.
This event will be hosted at our smart campus, inaugurated by HH Sheikh Hamdan. On 5th October, the campus will transform into a hive conversation and ideas as youth rally – alongside decision makers – to make their contribution to the UAE’s emergence as the global centre for AI.
