Abu Dhabi, UAE: Speed, consistency, and cost are the words most used to describe the inherent benefits of AI’s application to healthcare. Still, there is another critical descriptor that is almost always missed out in the discussion – personalization.

When experts attempt to explain the impact of AI on the world’s seemingly ungovernable healthcare system, they often revert to statistics to contextualize the enormity of a disease burden on a given population.

And now, thanks to a series of recent healthcare industry partnerships and collaborations, the UAE’s Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) – as the world’s first graduate research university focused only on AI – is shining a very
