9/15/25, 10:53 AM UAE's first-of-its-kind AI tool to save 75% of faculty members' time in higher education (NEWS)
How does it help students?

For learners, the AI agent acts as a personalized guide by helping them conduct research, develop

projects, and access tailored learning materials suited to their academic progress
(https://www.edarabia.com/back-to-school-uae-sharjah-private-school-students-attend-first-day-
new-academic-year/). This creates a more engaging and adaptive learning experience, improving

educational achievement by up to 40%.

Why faculty members?

Al Awar emphasized that the AI tool is not intended to replace professors but to empower them. By

offloading routine academic and administrative tasks, the technology enables faculty to focus on
critical thinking, innovation, and mentorship.In line with the vision of Sheikh Hamdan bin

Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of
Defence, Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, and President of HBMSU, and under the

guidance of Mattar Al Tayer, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and the Board members, the
initiative aims to consolidate Dubai’s leadership as a global hub for AI-powered higher education
(https://www.edarabia.com/uae-more-students-choose-europe-higher-education-over-uk-us-heres-

why/).

“This initiative represents a game changer in learning and education, creating a paradigm shift in
academic institutions by transforming academic tasks. The system turns these tasks into smart,

speedy processes and enhances the faculty’s and learners’ experiences. All these advantages are
gained by a new ecosystem that benefits from the latest agentic AI technology,” Al Awar said.

The platform was developed entirely in Dubai by the HBMSU team, led by Maitha Al Tunaiji, Vice
Chancellor of HBMSU for Artificial Intelligence and Technology, and built to international standards.

It incorporates ethical principles for AI use, including privacy protection, bias reduction,
transparency, and compliance with accessibility standards.

HBMSU provides mandatory training for faculty on innovative learning, along with specific training

on the AI agent. Training of teaching staff will begin next week.
