Abu Dhabi, 23 September 2025: Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) has hosted the third edition of its community engagement platform, Mailis, bringing together entrepreneurs, policymakers, and innovators. Held under the theme ROI Redefined: Return on Innovation, the session featured key voices from Abu Dhabi’s government, business, and startup sectors. Together, they discussed how artificial intelligence is redefining the workplace, powering startups, and strengthening the UAE’s innovation ecosystem.

Opening the session, Rawdha Almeraikhi, Director of Outreach at MBZUAI, said: “We want people to stop seeing AI as just a tool. It is a partner, one that amplifies human creativity, accelerates problem-solving, and pushes the boundaries of what is possible.
