UAE: Robot teachers enhance learning by 8% over human teachers in primary school, study finds
A new study by a Dubai-based university has found that incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics into early years education can enhance learning outcomes by an average of eight per cent. Conducted by researchers at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in Dubai, the study revealed the positive effects of AI and robotics integration at the elementary school level. The project involved the use of a personalised, AI-powered robot that engaged directly with students, leading to an average academic performance improvement of eight per cent compared to traditional human-led teaching. Led by Dr Jinane Mounsef, chair of the university's Electrical Engineering and Computing Sciences Department, the research highlighted the potential of personalisation in robotic tutoring in a real-world educational setting. The robot, known as Duet, employed powerful machine learning algorithms and the ROS (Robot Operating System) framework to predict a student's proficiency level with 100 per cent accuracy through indicators such as test scores, task completion time, and emotional engagement. It was then able to adjust the challenges and learning materials dynamically to suit each student's needs. Dr Mounsef, said, 'Through post-diagnostic exams we found that the experimental group of students using the AI-robot system showed a significant improvement rate over the control group. This demonstrates that such systems can provide a powerful tool to improve efficiency and augment education outcomes.' She added, 'We aim to take our work in cognitive development forward to explore the use of robotics in emotional intelligence. This will involve deploying a human-looking robot that can interact with students on a daily basis to ask questions, gather data and ultimately make recommendations that can help to address their concerns.' Experts urge balanced implementation Education experts in the UAE have welcomed the findings, while also calling for thoughtful and balanced implementation in early learning environments. 'Yes — cautiously, and contextually,' said Shifa Yusuffali, CEO and Founder of IdeaCrate and MENALAC Board Member. 'The evidence is growing. Studies like the one conducted by the University of Cambridge in 2022 have shown that programmable robots can support skills like collaboration and sequencing among children as young as four, particularly in guided group settings. "Similarly, research from MIT Media Lab and Tufts University (Bers, 2018) has shown that screen-free robotics, like KIBO, can introduce young learners to computational thinking without displacing the sensory, social, and creative elements of early education.' However, Yusuffali emphasised that such technology should support, not replace, the essence of childhood learning. 'Technology in early years should never lead — it should follow. It should follow the child's innate sense of wonder, their need to move, to ask, to connect. In the right setting, with thoughtful facilitation, AI and robotics can become interesting companions in that journey — but never the driver. 'Children need connection more than they need content. They need to play before they can program. And they need to be seen — not just as future learners or digital natives, but as whole human beings with their own pace, questions, and stories.' Interactive storytelling devices The country's largest preschool chain has also already begun integrating AI tools in classrooms to support learning goals in developmentally appropriate ways, said, Dr Vandana Gandhi, CEO and founder of British Orchard Nursery and Teacher Training Centre. 'We advocate innovation that supports developmental needs through technology. Our EYFS curriculum ensures that all children have access to the latest age-appropriate technology tools and methodology for a seamless transition to big schools. Educators use AI-driven tools and AI assistants for teaching, assessment, curriculum planning, and monitoring progress,' said Gandhi. She noted that nurseries are also introducing tech numeracy games, interactive storytelling devices, and smart learning stations across their branches. 'These tools have already shown a positive impact on attention span and cognitive engagement — while preserving the nursery's commitment to a play-based, sensory-rich environment,' added Gandhi.

UAE sees $34 billion crypto surge as clear regulations, zero-tax policies attract investors: Report
8 July 2025 00:30 Khaled Al Khawaldeh (Abu Dhabi) The UAE has pulled in $34 billion in crypto inflows between July 2023 and June 2024, representing a 42% year-on-year growth and positioning the Emirates among the world's leading markets for digital currencies, according to a new report by blockchain solutions provider Mining Grid. The report, titled 'The Middle East Cryptocurrency Landscape 2025', highlights how the country's forward-thinking approach to regulation, combined with its zero-tax environment for digital asset transactions, has unlocked unprecedented growth. 'The UAE's clear regulations and zero capital gains tax have created the perfect environment for crypto growth,' said Solaiman AlRifai, Founder and Board Member of Mining Grid.'With an engaged and forward-looking population, it's no surprise the country is now seen as the crypto capital of the Arab world.'Mining Grid's data shows that over 93% of the region's total crypto inflows – amounting to $338.7 billion across the Middle East during the same period – came from large, institutional-sized transfers. It says that this signals that regional markets are increasingly focused on long-term strategies rather than speculative, high-risk the Middle East now ranks as the seventh-largest crypto market, and the UAE's contribution has been pivotal in this growth. The reports analysts point to the country's clear legal frameworks, sophisticated financial infrastructure, and Web3 adoption as central factors in attracting both retail investors and major youth's interest in the market was identified as a key driver of the UAE's crypto boom. The Mining Grid report found that over 74% of Emiratis and expatriates aged 25-34 have shown active interest in media platforms were said to be central to this youth movement with the convergence of viral video trends, instant messaging communities, and on-demand crypto education empowering a new generation to enter the digital asset space with unprecedented this rapid growth come important challenges. Nearly half of young crypto users surveyed have expressed concerns about misinformation spreading across social media channels. The report warns that misleading claims or poorly understood advice can expose inexperienced investors to scams or unsustainable strategies. This presents a critical opportunity for trusted platforms, licensed exchanges, and educators to establish themselves as reliable sources of knowledge, fostering responsible engagement is also deepening. Mining Grid's data suggests that a rising number of UAE-based family offices and investment firms are now incorporating crypto allocations into their portfolios, reflecting growing confidence in the market's stability. This institutional participation has helped shift perceptions of cryptocurrencies in the Emirates from speculative instruments to viable components of diversified investment UAE's success is closely tied to its commitment to building a comprehensive crypto ecosystem. Recent regulatory milestones include frameworks set by the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) and Abu Dhabi Global Market's Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA), which have both established robust guidelines for licensing exchanges, digital asset custodians, and token issuers. 'The UAE has created the ideal environment where curiosity meets clarity. We're seeing a new generation that doesn't just want to invest in crypto but wants to understand it, build with it, and lead its next chapter,' said Rami Alsridi, Founder and CEO of Mining Grid.
