As Artificial Intelligence reshapes the world of work and entrepreneurship, it is essential that women are not only users but also leaders and educators in this digital transformation. Within the Women in Digital Business (WIDB) initiative, the Artificial Intelligence Academy aims to build the capacity of those who teach, coach, and mentor women entrepreneurs to harness AI effectively, ethically, and inclusively. The Academy provides a structured learning journey that demystifies AI, explores its practical applications across business areas, and equips trainers with the tools and confidence to integrate AI literacy into their programmes. By investing in trainers as multipliers, the Academy amplifies WIDB’s mission to empower women to thrive in the digital economy — not as passive adopters of technology, but as active innovators shaping its future.
