Students from CNN Academy Abu Dhabi and several local universities gained invaluable insights and a deeper understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) as they participated in a special masterclass led by one of the world’s leading technologists, philanthropists and Chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Bill Gates.
Part of a series of training opportunities facilitated by Abu Dhabi’s Creative Media Authority (CMA), the interactive 30-minute masterclass offered aspiring journalists a unique opportunity to explore future developments in AI with Gates, engaging in thought-provoking discussions and meaningful dialogue throughout the session.
Becky Anderson, Managing Editor of CNN Abu Dhabi and anchor of Connect the World with Becky Anderson, moderated the conversation that addressed how emerging technologies today, especially AI, can tackle global challenges such as disease eradication, climate change, and food security in underserved regions. Students were also interested to learn how the Gates Foundation identifies challenges and mobilises innovative solutions to bring about meaningful change.
