Executive AI MBA
Where AI, capital, and institutional judgment converge
A closed forum on AI, capital, and long-term industrial governance
The Executive AI MBA is not a conventional degree program, nor a classroom-based course of study. It is an aggregated executive formation designed for senior participants who engage with AI at the level of strategy, capital allocation, and institutional responsibility.
Rather than progressing through a fixed curriculum, participants complete the program by engaging across the Executive AI Forum series—held in Zurich, Tokyo, Dubai, and London—and by contributing to the intellectual output of SIAI through authorship and institutional participation. The program is structured to accommodate different time horizons, while maintaining a single standard of depth, seriousness, and contribution.
Completion of the Executive AI MBA signifies not the acquisition of tools, but the demonstrated ability to interpret AI within economic, industrial, and governance systems, and to contribute meaningfully to institutional-level discourse.
Full-Year track
The Full-Year Track is designed for participants who wish to complete the Executive AI MBA within a single academic cycle.
Participants in this track attend all four Executive AI Forums within the year, beginning with the Zurich forum in June and concluding with the London forum in March. Alongside forum participation, candidates are required to meet the program’s graduation requirements by contributing an original piece of analysis to the SIAI Business Review, published under Fellow status.
The Full-Year Track emphasizes continuity and synthesis across regions and institutional contexts. Upon successful completion of forum participation and review contribution, participants are formally conferred the Executive AI MBA and appointed as SIAI Fellows.
Part-Time track
The Part-Time Track is designed for senior participants who prefer a flexible, multi-year engagement.
Participants may attend the Executive AI Forums selectively across years, building exposure to different regional and institutional perspectives over time. There is no fixed sequence or annual requirement; progression is determined by depth of engagement rather than pace.
When a participant elects to complete the program, they are required to contribute an original analytical piece to the SIAI Business Review, at which point they are appointed as SIAI Fellows and formally conferred the Executive AI MBA.
The Part-Time Track allows participants to integrate the program into long-term professional responsibilities, while holding all candidates to the same standard of institutional contribution upon completion.

Q&A
Executive AI MBA
Clarity on AI, before strategy becomes irreversible.
AI is now discussed as if its strategic implications were already understood: budgets allocated, vendors selected, and institutional commitments quietly made. Yet for many organizations, the most consequential decisions around AI are being taken under conditions of incomplete information, misaligned incentives, and public narratives that discourage honest reassessment. Once capital, regulation, or reputation is committed, reversing course becomes costly—sometimes impossible
The Executive AI MBA exists to address this moment. It provides a closed setting in which senior participants can examine AI before decisions harden into doctrine. Discussions are grounded in economic constraints, statistical limits, and institutional realities that rarely appear in public forums. Rather than promoting adoption or resisting it, the forum focuses on understanding where AI genuinely changes outcomes—and where it does not.
For participants responsible for long-term strategy, capital allocation, or policy design, the value of the forum lies in recalibration. It offers a rare opportunity to stress-test assumptions, compare institutional perspectives, and regain strategic clarity before commitments become path-dependent. The result is not consensus, but sharper judgment—aligned with the responsibilities that senior roles actually carry.
Participation in the Executive AI MBA is by invitation only, or through nomination by partner institutions.
