UAE University Unveils Groundbreaking AI-Powered Academic Tool

In a remarkable development that underscores the United Arab Emirates’ commitment to fostering innovation in education,
Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University (HBMSU) has announced the launch of the region’s first artificial intelligence-
driven academic agent. This cutting-edge tool aims to alleviate the administrative burdens faced by faculty members, potentially

saving them up to 75% of their time, while also enhancing student performance by an impressive 40%. This initiative represents
a significant stride towards redefining the landscape of higher education in the UAE and beyond.

Titled the “Artificial Intelligence Agent for Every Faculty,” this transformative initiative is designed not only to streamline the
responsibilities of educators but also to align seamlessly with national objectives such as the UAE National Artificial

Intelligence Strategy 2031 and the Education Strategy 2033. These strategic frameworks highlight the UAE’s aspiration to
position itself at the forefront of educational excellence and technological advancement, ensuring that faculty and students alike
are equipped to thrive in an increasingly digital and interconnected world.

Dr. Mansoor Al Awar, the chancellor of HBMSU, during a media briefing held on September 11, articulated the core philosophy

underpinning this initiative. He stated, “The role of the faculty in smart learning is not teaching. They are supposed to facilitate,
enable, mentor, and coach.” Dr. Al Awar emphasized that for educators to fulfill these roles effectively, they require adequate

space and resources—including time— to engage meaningfully with their students. By harnessing artificial intelligence,
HBMSU is not merely aiming to make teaching more efficient; it seeks to enrich the educational experience, fostering a deeper
connection between faculty and students.
