Dubai Health Launches UAE’s First AI Literacy Framework to Drive Smarter, Ethical Tech Adoption
Dubai Health has unveiled the Artificial Intelligence Literacy Framework (ALiF), the UAE’s first comprehensive AI literacy initiative aimed at upskilling professionals across sectors.
Developed by the Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU), ALiF was announced during Dubai AI Week 2025, held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
A first-of-its-kind in the MENA region, ALiF sets a new benchmark for AI readiness in professional environments, reinforcing Dubai Health’s commitment to innovation, continuous learning, and ethical technology integration.
“AI literacy is now essential,”
said Alawi Alsheikh-Ali, Chief Academic Officer of Dubai Health.
“ALiF equips learners with the knowledge and confidence to engage with AI responsibly and meaningfully.”
The framework begins with the AI Launchpad—a free, online entry-level course—followed by five advanced mastery tracks tailored for learners, educators, researchers, clinicians, and administrators. A dedicated Strategic AI Leadership track prepares professionals to lead digital transformation within their organisations.
Courses are certified, available at Foundation, Intermediate, and Advanced levels, and designed for flexible, self-paced learning.
Atif AlBraiki, Chief Digital and AI Officer at Dubai Health, said ALiF is central to building a future-ready workforce.
“It reflects our broader vision of ethical AI integration where it delivers real impact.”
MBRU’s Nabil Zary added,
“This isn’t just about technical skills—it’s about long-term confidence and competence with AI.”
Registration for ALiF opens to the public on April 23, 2025, at learn.mbru.ac.ae, supporting the UAE’s ambition to lead regionally grounded, globally relevant digital transformation.
