MBZUAI (Abu Dhabi) has conferred its first-ever honorary doctorate on Sam Altman. The ceremony was witnessed by the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, and the university framed the award as recognition of Altman’s role in taking generative AI from labs to global use.

The UAE has been aggressively positioning itself as an AI hub. Does this kind of recognition help attract talent/funding?

Neither. Most people are perfectly aware that honorary degrees are just ego-fluffing/PR nonsense and give little weight to them or the institutions that grant them.
