Khalifa University has developed a UAE-made artificial intelligence platform for education, marking a significant step in the country’s efforts to build homegrown technology that supports teaching and learning. The platform is designed to help students, educators, and institutions benefit from AI while keeping development, data, and expertise within the nation.
The platform is expected to offer personalised learning support, helping students study at their own pace with tailored explanations, practice exercises, and feedback. For educators, it can assist with lesson planning, assessment, and administrative tasks, freeing up time to focus on mentoring and classroom engagement.
University officials said the project reflects the UAE’s national AI strategy and its ambition to be a global leader in applied artificial intelligence. By developing the technology locally, the platform can be adapted to the country’s curriculum, languages, and cultural context, including strong support for Arabic.
Researchers highlighted the importance of responsible AI, with a focus on data privacy, transparency, and safeguards that ensure the technology supports learning rather than replacing critical thinking. The platform is also expected to be tested with schools and universities to refine its features based on real classroom needs.
Experts note that locally built education technology can strengthen digital sovereignty, reduce reliance on imported tools, and create opportunities for national talent and innovation.
Further details on rollout, partnerships, and availability are expected to be announced in the coming months.
