CAIT, Dell Technologies launch program to develop girls’ talents in AI programming

KUWAIT: The Central Agency for Information Technology (CAIT) announced the launch of the training program to develop the talents of girls in the field of programming artificial intelligence applications, as part of a special initiative launched by the authority in cooperation with Dell Technologies to empower girls digitally through a month-long training program.

Director General of the Central Agency for Information Technology Haya Al-Wadani stressed that early investment in girls in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics is the cornerstone of their digital empowerment and support to be an influential element in the digital economy system that encourages remote work where gender is not an obstacle to the same extent that it is to the physical economy.

Wadani stressed the importance of training and qualifying girls to make the most of the new technology environment, noting that by 2025 the digital economy is expected to reshape the job landscape for the division of labor in the world, and create new business models in which women can work, including electronic commerce and the economy.
