Page 82 - ALEF EDUCATION PR REPORT - NOVEMBER 2023

Themed Shaping the Future of Education, the conference focused on evolving
educational needs among students and educators in the GCC region. The participation
of Alef Education at the event took on even more significance, as the company is a
strategic partner of the UAE Ministry of Education in the upcoming COP28, which will be
held later this month at Expo City in Dubai.

Geoffrey Alphonso, CEO of Alef Education, said, “At Alef Education, we recognise the
central role of a comprehensive climate change and AI-based education system in
shaping the future of education. Our participation in GESS Dubai 2023 is to highlight the
importance of equipping the younger generation with the knowledge and tools
necessary to address the challenges of climate change while preparing them for
employment demands ahead. We are committed to creating a dynamic learning
environment that promotes innovation, inclusion, and sustainability.”

As part of its exhibition, Alef Education divided its pavilion into three zones to highlight
different objectives. Zone one featured an immersive experience on climate change and
the Alef Metaverse, where a VR setup provided participants with an immersive and
educational experience. Zone two featured a thought leadership stage with insights into
AI-driven solutions such as the Alef AI Tutor and GPTeach, as well as discussions on
Arabic language measurement, climate change, and data-driven pedagogy. Zone three
featured a variety of the company’s solutions, including the Alef Platform, Abjadiyat,
Arabits, and Alef Pathways.

The event featured sessions hosted by Alef Education, where industry experts from the
company spoke, including Richard Brooker, Lead Data Scientist; Sarath Chandran,
Senior Machine Learning Manager; Malak Obeid, Head of Product Development; Xin
Miao, Lead Researcher; Fouad Shammary, NLP Engineer; Colin Penfold, Head of
English Medium; Ahmed Moorsy, Machine Learning Engineer; and Theodor Marinesco,
Data Scientist. The sessions underscored the transformative impact of AI in education
and the importance of fostering contemporary skills.
