UAE: Arab Index For Artificial Intelligence In Universities Launched
The University of Dubai and the Artificial Intelligence Journalism for Research and Forecasting (AIJRF) announced the launch of the Arab Index for Artificial Intelligence in Universities (AIU), which is the first global index of its kind, monitoring and analysing the integration of artificial intelligence technologies into the “humanities and theoretical sciences” within Arab universities.
The Arab Index for Artificial Intelligence in Universities (AIU) includes six main indicators: educational curricula, university professors, smart laboratories, student skills, and finally the scientific research index, with a total of 18 sub-indices.
The Arab Index for Artificial Intelligence in Universities (AIU) is a global index issued by the Artificial Intelligence Journalism for Research and Forecasting (AIJRF), the leading global institution in studies of artificial intelligence and technologies of the Fourth and Fifth Industrial Revolutions, in cooperation with the University of Dubai. The AIU is an applied indicator that measures the extent to which artificial intelligence techniques are integrated into the “humanities and theoretical sciences” within the most prominent Arab universities according to the global indicators in that regard (QS).
The index includes six main indicators, with a total of 18 sub-indices. The main indicators are:
• Educational curricula: their relationship to artificial intelligence and its use.
• University professors: The extent of the development of their skills in using artificial intelligence techniques in the educational process within various classrooms.
• Smart laboratories: The availability of smarter laboratories that rely on artificial intelligence applications or tools to support educational curricula and applied projects for university students.
• Student skills: The nature of the skills that university students acquire by integrating artificial intelligence techniques and tools into various curricula and the extent of their awareness of those tools and their use in the educational process.
• Scientific research: Scientific production is measured by scientific research and studies published in international peer-reviewed journals under the name of the university in the field of education and artificial intelligence in general.
• Global partnerships with artificial intelligence manufacturers and technology pioneers “where the quality of effective partnership is measured” between the university and some of the global institutions in the field of artificial intelligence.
