UAE Incorporates AI into School Curriculum

May 6, 2025

The United Arab Emirates is integrating artificial intelligence into the school curriculum - from kindergarten through 12th grade. Their goal is to raise a generation capable of competing in the global AI race, and they are starting in the upcoming school year. The UAE has already invested in data centers for training models and established a fund for AI investments, which is projected to exceed $100 billion. OpenAI's Chief, Sam Altman, calls the country a possible "testbed" for piloting technologies and future global rules for the entire AI industry.
