UK uses AI to develop educational process

KUWAIT: Through the widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) recently, Kuwait University (KU) “hopped on the wagon” and began to use AI applications to develop the educational process and boost its output. The use of AI also came in line with the government’s vision for digital transformation in Kuwait.

In regards to the use of AI, the head of laboratories and AI at the computer engineering department of KU, Dr Abdullah Al-Mutawa, told KUNA that the university uses numerous applications of AI, namely Chabot’s and facial recognition robots. AI is used in administrative tasks to formulate statistics important to the KU decision-making process, he added.

Al-Mutawa revealed that AI was used during the COVID-19 pandemic to monitor students taking unified exams and tests via the “Model” system without human interference. The model system utilizes cloud technology to ensure the continuity of services despite the growing number of users, connecting it with Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Teams, which enable students to view all available university classes and activities simultaneously, including tests and homework, said Al-Mutawa.

In regards to AI’s benefits in terms of digital transformation, the academics affirmed that AI streamlined processes and made it simple to finish tasks in record time. For
