The Academy at MBZUAI brings Plato’s Academy into the age of artificial intelligence (AI) – offering a space for open enquiry, experimentation, and diverse perspectives. As an integral part of Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) – the world’s first university dedicated entirely to advancing science through AI – The Academy extends the university’s mission beyond the classroom and laboratory.

Where MBZUAI educates the next generation of AI leaders through world-class research and academic programs – The Academy serves today’s senior leaders. Built on the twin pillars of training and thought leadership, it operates as both a living laboratory for leadership enablement and a global think tank. We help executives develop the judgment, systems thinking, and ethical grounding that AI adoption demands, while convening world-leading thinkers to explore the societal and civilizational questions AI raises.

Together, MBZUAI and The Academy advance AI as a global force for humanity.
