RIYADH: The Saudi Data and AI Authority has launched new educational materials for students and teachers to raise awareness of artificial intelligence tools and facilitate their integration into the educational process.
Part of the Ministry of Education’s “Back to School” campaign, and promoted on the authority’s social media platforms, the SAMAI initiative focuses on using AI to develop cognitive and technical skills, supporting modern teaching methods.
This effort aligns with Vision 2030’s goal of building a knowledge-based society capable of competing globally, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.
It also supports the integration of the new AI curriculum across all levels of general education. Developed with the National Centre for Curriculum and other relevant ministries, the curriculum features interactive units tailored to different age groups.
The initiative, a collaboration between SDAIA, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, aims to empower 1 million Saudis in AI. It complements the new curriculum and helps nurture a generation equipped to meet future challenges.
