Artificial Intelligence Professional Program

Program Description

Artificial Intelligence and Big Data are some of the most highly sought after skills in the High-Tech Industry. The demand for data scientists is increasing so quickly, that McKinsey predicts that in the near future, there will be a 50 percent gap in the supply of data scientists versus demand.

Our Artificial Intelligence Professional Program will enable you to gain the skills, experience and certification you need to be successful as an AI or Big Data Professional.  You will learn the best practices and methodologies of how to conduct leading-edge Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Projects, and be mentored by some of the best experts in the field. This program is accredited by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) of Dubai.

Founder and CEO of Innosoft Gulf, a leading AI and Big Data Education Center in Dubai. Most of the work that Ahmed does at Innosoft Gulf involves teaching, consulting and research in Deep Learning, Machine learning and Big Data. In the last couple of years,  he has trained hundreds of professionals in these areas.  To develop a local community of AI and Big Data professionals  in March 2017 he started one of the largest meet-up groups in Dubai: Innosoft Gulf – Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. At the moment, this active meet-up group has nearly 4,000 members.

After completing his Bachelor’s degree in Information and Decision Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1996, he had the opportunity to work for some of the most prestigious organizations in the US including Sun Microsystems and Chicago Board of Options Exchange (CBOE).  At Sun, Ahmed worked closely with the Chief Architect of the Java Center in the architecture, design and development of a Java EE based workflow engine. This work was included in the best selling  book Java EE Patterns.  Currently, he is pursuing graduate studies in AI at Stanford University, where he worked recently on a self-driving project that uses Fully Convolutional Neural Networks for Automated Traffic Lane Detection (Click here to download the project report).
