AI fluency for the people who decide.
A 6-week programme for CEOs, founders, directors, and government leaders in Dubai and Abu Dhabi — strategic, not technical. You leave with judgement on AI investments, a governance posture, and a concrete 90-day roadmap for your organisation.
What you'll be able to do
The Executive AI Academy is built around decisions, not tools. By the end of the six weeks, each leader will be able to:
Session by session
The AI landscape for leaders
What today's AI can and cannot do, where it is creating value in your sector, and how to read claims critically.
Agentic AI and your organisation
How AI agents change work, what the UAE's national agentic AI direction asks of organisations, and where to start.
The business case and vendor claims
Sizing value and cost honestly, choosing first use cases, and testing what vendors promise.
Leading AI transformation
The operating model, champions, skills and change management that make adoption stick.
Governance, data protection and risk
Policies, oversight and accountability, including the UAE PDPL and sector regulators.
Your 90-day roadmap
Each leader builds a sequenced, costed plan for their organisation, reviewed by HYVE engineers.
Questions leaders ask
Board AI Briefing
A half-day session for directors who oversee AI rather than run it. It focuses on where the risks sit, what the board is accountable for, and the questions that test management's plans.
Who it's for: Board members, non-executive directors, trustees, and audit or risk committee members.
Agenda
- Where AI stands today, without the hype
- AI risk: what can go wrong and who is accountable
- Regulation and oversight across the UAE, GCC and EU
- Reading an AI strategy and business case
- Setting the board's oversight agenda
By the end, directors will be able to:
- ✓Explain in plain terms how AI is used across the organisation and where the material risks sit.
- ✓Ask management the questions that test an AI strategy, business case or incident.
- ✓Understand the board's oversight duties for AI, including data protection and sector regulation.
- ✓Set expectations for AI governance, reporting and risk appetite.
- ✓Agree three priorities for AI oversight over the next 12 months.
