The United Arab Emirates is set to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) education into its school curricula, making it mandatory for all students from kindergarten through grade 12. This nationwide initiative aims to equip Emirati youth with essential AI skills from an early age, preparing them for a future increasingly driven by technology. The initiative is part of the country's broader National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2031, positioning the UAE as a global leader in AI capabilities and digital innovation. The goal is to diversify the UAE’s economy from its core basis of oil production and sale.
The new AI curriculum will be age-appropriate and structured around seven key learning areas. These areas include foundational concepts such as understanding what AI is, data and algorithms, software applications, and ethical awareness. Students will also explore real-world AI applications and engage in innovation and project design, fostering creativity and practical skills. The curriculum will be incorporated into the standard school timetable, ensuring that all students have access to AI education as part of their core learning experience.
The UAE Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum emphasized the importance of teaching children a deep understanding of AI from a technical perspective, while also fostering their awareness of the ethics of this new technology. This initiative reflects the UAE's commitment to equipping its children for a future with conditions different from today. As part of this broader strategy, the UAE is also investing in research and development, with institutions like the American University of Sharjah and United Arab Emirates University committed to the technology’s use in the higher and postgraduate sectors, with a significant AI investment fund expected to grow in the coming years.
