7/15/25, 11:45 AM UAE sets global benchmark for AI-driven, future-ready education, say experts - Aletihad News Center
“This strategic initiative helps accelerate UAE’s transition to a knowledge-based economy, enhances graduate

employability, and strengthens industry-academia partnerships,” he said.

Poduval also spotlighted AcademyX, Saal.ai’s AI-driven platform that recommends personalised learning paths.

“We have seen how AI can match emerging job requirements to student skill profiles and offer real-time career

guidance,” he said.

One success story involved a major institution that used AcademyX to “future-fit its workforce”, gaining “granular

visibility into skill gaps” and refining training strategies.

Students benefitted from “a personalised approach, receiving more in less time”, Poduval said.

Bots Won’t Replace Teachers

Even with many tasks easily automated these days, the experts pointed out that AI would not be able to take the
place of teachers.

“Technology, including AI, is not meant to replace the human element in teaching but to enhance and support it,”
Alphonso said.

Alef’s platforms, for example, reduces administrative burden, allowing educators to focus on teaching, he added. To
keep up with developments, they receive personalised, self-paced training on best practices.

Saal.ai’s solutions have also helped higher education instructors save time through automation, Poduval said.

“In reality, [AI] can create more personalised, student-centred experiences,” Alphonso added.

In Arabic lessons, for example, gamified literacy tools can enhance the engagement of non-native speakers. Alef’s

Abjadiyat tool delivers personalised instruction through real-time speech and handwriting recognition.

“Artificial intelligence has the potential to significantly enhance early Arabic language education, especially for young

learners encountering the language for the first time,” Alphonso said.
