Dubai's GEMS Education is set to launch AI-powered digital avatars of its teachers, offering students personalized support and subject expertise beyond regular school hours. The initiative, a collaboration with AI company Napster, aims to create digital personas based on the teachers' subject-matter expertise, enabling students to access approved learning content and guidance in multiple languages.
These AI avatars are designed to extend the reach and impact of GEMS' teachers without replacing them. The first phase of the project will take place at GEMS School of Research & Innovation, where teachers, students, and partner organizations will co-design, trial, and evaluate the AI agents. Early projects will involve digitalizing instructors, creating gamified learning tools, using AI for content creation, and conducting classroom simulations.
The programme is expected to roll out across GEMS' schools in the Middle East and beyond by the end of 2026, marking a significant shift in AI-in-education efforts in the region. The partnership between GEMS Education and Napster is based on combining their expertise in education and AI to responsibly support core educational practices and set a positive global benchmark for K-12 education.
