ICAIRE, Microsoft Launch 2nd Phase of 'Elevate Initiative' to Train 5,000 Women in AI
The International Center for Artificial Intelligence Research and Ethics (ICAIRE), headquartered in Riyadh, has announced the launch of the second cohort of its Elevate Initiative , in collaboration with Microsoft and under the sponsorship of the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA). This new phase aims to train 5,000 women worldwide in artificial intelligence, following the success of the first cohort, which equipped 1,000 women with foundational AI skills. The program forms part of ICAIRE's broader mission to build AI capacity among 25,000 women across the globe. The announcement was made by ICAIRE Acting Managing Director Dr. Abdulrahman Habib during a dialogue session at the third annual UNESCO Global Forum on the Ethics of AI, held this year in Bangkok, Thailand. Dr. Habib also emphasized ICAIRE's leadership in ethical AI research, its role in shaping policy recommendations, and its commitment to fostering global dialogue around responsible AI development. He highlighted inclusivity as a critical factor in driving innovation and expanding the intellectual landscape in AI. Moreover, increasing female representation in the AI sector, he said, is essential—and the Elevate Initiative plays a key role in making that vision a reality. The program offers a six-week, 26-hour curriculum that combines interactive courses, hands-on workshops, and mentorship from certified experts. Additionally, participants will receive a certificate of attendance and a scholarship to take the Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-900) certification exam.
