UAE Tightens AI Rules in Schools
The UAE Ministry of Education released the 'Safe and Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence in Classrooms 2026' guide, introducing 25 prohibitions including a ban on generative AI for students under 13 and forbidding AI use in formal exams and undisclosed submissions. The policy also bars uploading personal data to external AI services and mandates a K–12 AI curriculum from the 2025–26 academic year taught by over 1,000 trained educators.
Key Points
- 1Bans generative AI for under-13s, prohibits AI during exams and undisclosed submissions.
- 2Prioritizes academic integrity and cultural values, aiming to prevent digital dependence and misinformation.
- 3Requires schools to block unapproved services, ban data uploads, and prepare teachers for K–12 AI instruction.
Scoring Rationale
High score from an official nationwide education AI policy and strong safeguards; limited by applicability confined to the UAE context.
