  Teaching artificial intelligence (AI) is challenging. It is a fast moving
field and therefore difficult to keep people updated with the state-of-the-art.
Educational offerings for students are ever increasing, beyond university
degree programs where AI education traditionally lay. In this paper, we present
an experience report of teaching an AI course to business executives in the
United Arab Emirates (UAE). Rather than focusing only on theoretical and
technical aspects, we developed a course that teaches AI with a view to
enabling students to understand how to incorporate it into existing business
processes. We present an overview of our course, curriculum and teaching
methods, and we discuss our reflections on teaching adult learners, and to
students in the UAE.
