Unfortunately, even before this AI has appeared, many ( perhaps most ) students graduated without reading a book. The question is what do people read these days? Only a small intellectually inclined elite reads anything substantial at all. The internet killed reading long time before generative AI. The issue now is that people do not read anything deep, just headlines and bullets on powerpoint and many students think that learning is all a about memorizing sentences, problem patterns, and blackbox procedures. This has proven to be the best strategy to get maximum grades. This model is not sustainable in the era of AI. We got to be more ambitious, and keep challenging the potential of the best students.

Dr. Razali Koroh how does she not understand? If someone doesn't read the relevant texts for their degree, they absolutely should not be awarded that degree.

On average how much screen time per day is best? 📲💻

Not good degrees I suppose

The distinction between AI that supports learning and AI that removes the friction of learning. That's what most policy conversations miss. One layer I sometimes think about is that unclear expectations aren't just a classroom problem. They reflect something more structural in Higher Education as well. University funding often flows toward research output, not teaching quality - so institutions hire and reward professors accordingly. AI is being dropped into a system where teaching has often been the secondary obligation, and it is amplifying it. Students feel the teaching-learning gap more acutely now, but the gap isn't new. Which makes your closing question even more meaningful: institutions need to decide what they actually value. The AI policy for the classroom is downstream of that decision - not a substitute for it.

so much for the claim that AI can assist students. Instead of challenging people to think they are making people dumber.

Great resources. The AI ecosystem needs it, something more practical and detailed.

I've been saying this for ages...maybe not to power the world but possibly the gym itself which could lower the membership fees.

The real risk isn't AI taking our jobs, it's humans outsourcing their judgment so completely that they forget how to direct the machine in the first place. What we keep teaching is this: the people who stay central to the future aren't the ones who avoid AI, they're the ones who understand it well enough to tell it what actually matters

Scary

This is massive, dear Nadeem. Abu Dhabi's 50% of government operations will soon be executed by autonomous AI agents.

Have u tried it yourself or just circulating marketing fluff Alvin Foo

I find this extremely futuristic and a great leap ahead not just for the UAE and the GCC, but for any Government around the world.

Great post as usual, Nadeem Zaman ‏نديم زمان

Kudos to the UAE...thank you so much fornsharing dear Nadeem

Very exciting Nadeem Zaman ‏نديم زمان . Potential for game changing success here, the tech potential is looking very exciting. I hope the people change element is also prioritised to ensure full adoption and a cultural shift to embrace the change rather than fear it.

Aimen Bedawi thank you so much dear Aimen - I truly appreciate your kind support

Simone Ambrosio same here Simone
