The “National AI” Program, initiated by AI Academy Asia with support from UNICEF Mongolia and M Bank, officially launched on April 15, 2025.
The "National AI" Program aims at promoting inclusive access to artificial intelligence education, reducing the digital divide, and raising public awareness and understanding of AI. The Program is designed to provide students, youth, and local government officials with knowledge and skills related to AI, thereby improving the inclusivity of the digital transition and reducing inequalities. Over the course of its five-year implementation, the Program will train 250 AI specialists and 2,250 teachers.
CEO of AI Academy Asia Bolor-Erdene Battsengel said, "We are working in collaboration with Cambridge University and other leading global institutions to introduce AI education to Mongolia. Through this Program, we plan to train 500 professionals in Mongolia. In the technological era, it is essential to gain structured and systematic knowledge without lagging behind. Starting today, our online learning platform will be available to the public, with all courses offered in Mongolian. It is vital that children receive a strong and well-structured foundation in technology education."
The Program to train 2,250 teachers will last up to three months and is open to individuals aged 21-65. Teachers will be trained annually from 330 soums across all 21 aimags.
As one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world, Mongolia continues to face challenges in achieving equitable and inclusive digital transformation, due to factors such as demographic distribution, geographical constraints, and socio-economic disparities. Nevertheless, the program’s implementers underscored the vast potential of artificial intelligence to drive positive and transformative change in Mongolia by fostering innovation, enhancing economic growth, and contributing to the nation’s sustainable development.
