Bahraini women now have the opportunity to join a major global initiative to learn artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, as the International Center for Artificial Intelligence Research and Ethics (ICAIRE) opens the doors to the second phase of its ELEVATE programme.

Developed in partnership with Microsoft, the programme aims to train 25,000 women worldwide through a flexible online format. Open to women of all backgrounds, it offers practical AI skills, globally recognised certifications, and personalised mentorship from international experts.

Skills for the future

The training covers a range of in-demand topics including machine learning, computer vision, cloud computing, data analysis, and AI ethics. Delivered entirely in English through a virtual platform, ELEVATE is designed to increase accessibility and eliminate barriers to participation, particularly for women in regions with limited access to advanced tech education.

“This is not just a training programme - it’s a global movement to empower women with the tools, confidence, and opportunities to shape the future of technology,” the ICAIRE team said in a statement.

Equal access push

ELEVATE reflects ICAIRE’s broader mission to promote inclusive participation in the digital economy and close the gender gap in the AI sector. As a UNESCO Category II Centre based in Riyadh, ICAIRE focuses on responsible innovation and equitable skill-building in artificial intelligence.

Registration for the free programme is now open through ICAIRE’s official platform. Women in Bahrain interested in joining the movement can register at elevate.icaire.org/registration.
