Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University (HBMSU) in the United Arab Emirates has announced the launch
of the region’s first AI-powered academic agent, a pioneering tool designed to save up to 75% of faculty
members’ time while enhancing students’ academic achievement by 40%, marking a significant step in
reshaping the future of higher education, writes Sara AlKuwari for Khaleej Times

The initiative, titled Artificial Intelligence Agent for Every Faculty, is the first of its kind in the UAE and the
wider region. It integrates advanced AI capabilities into higher education in line with the UAE National
Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2031 and Education Strategy 2033.

Dr Mansoor Al Awar, HBMSU chancellor, told Khaleej Times during a media briefing at HBMSU on
Thursday 11 September: “The role of the faculty in smart learning is not teaching. They are supposed to
facilitate, enable, mentor and coach. For the faculty member to do that, he needs a space.”
