The Abu Dhabi Awards Organizing Committee held an interactive session titled “When Expertise Meets Giving” with 32 Experts of the National Experts Program’s Artificial Intelligence track (NEP-AI), exploring innovative approaches to strengthening the culture of giving and community engagement across the UAE.

The dialogue brought together diverse expertise and perspectives to explore opportunities for collaboration, leverage artificial intelligence to expand outreach and encourage nominations, and generate ideas to enhance the Awards’ impact across all seven emirates. The dialogue was held during Module 4 of NEP-AI on “AI Thinking and Influence.”

During the session, participants explored ways to strengthen the Abu Dhabi Awards’ presence across the UAE, transform individual expertise and achievements into sustainable contributions to society, and leverage innovation and artificial intelligence to raise awareness of the Awards. The Abu Dhabi Awards recognize individuals whose generosity and humanitarian initiatives have made a positive impact on UAE society. Since their inception in 2005, the Awards have honoured 110 individuals from 18 nationalities across 12 editions.

NEP-AI is designed to support the UAE’s strategic priorities. By developing Emirati AI experts across 25 strategic sectors, the program strengthens the country’s ability to deploy intelligent technologies in alignment with national priorities across key sectors, contributing to the achievement of the UAE National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence.
