Shaping the next generation of UAE higher-ed with AI

As the UAE accelerates its national vision to become a global leader in artificial intelligence, the country’s higher education landscape is undergoing a profound transformation. This session explores how AI is reshaping curriculum design, academic models, student recruitment, and institutional strategy across the UAE. 

Featuring insights from MBZUAI, one of the world’s first research universities dedicated entirely to artificial intelligence, we’ll examine how AI-driven programs, data-informed enrollment planning, and future-oriented learning environments are redefining what learners expect and how universities must evolve. Leaders and educators will gain practical perspectives on building AI-ready institutions that strengthen program appeal, enhance competitiveness, and prepare students for an innovation-driven future.
