What is Generative AI?
Generative AI is a broad term used to describe any type of artificial intelligence (AI) that can be used to create new text, images, video, audio, code or synthetic data.
“Artificial Intelligence will part of our lives whether at home or at work. It is our responsibility to prepare our children for this AI-driven future by providing them with the knowledge and skills,” said the minister.
He added: “Education is the cornerstone of a sustainable, prosperous society at the heart of every successful nation. It is the common denominator across various areas. How and what we teach, what we learn are all critical. One of the most significant trends we have seen is the integration of artificial intelligence into every aspect of our lives,” said Falasi.
He said that it is critical that nations keep pace with technological advancement. “It is therefore with great pride that I announce today that UAE will be among the first countries globally to fully embed AI tools across its educational systems,” the minister said.
The minister added that his speech for the day was written out by Generative AI that he was talking about.
