Announced on 7 October 2026, AiNative is a Department of Government Enablement programme developed with OpenAI, Microsoft and MBZUAI. It aims to train 20,000 Abu Dhabi government employees by the end of 2026. The planned public learning journey will use the Tomouh app with UAE PASS and cover practical, responsible uses of AI. Rollout is phased: the initial government pilot precedes public access. Check the official announcement for updates before looking for enrolment.
