A new study: 7 out of 10 in the UAE demand ethical awareness when using artificial intelligence

A new study conducted by the University of D Montfort Dubai (DMU) that about Three quarters of residents in The UAE (7From all 10), calling for the need to raise awareness about the ethical use of artificial intelligence technologies; The results of the study showed that the rapid growth in artificial intelligence software and its widespread adoption in various sectors, led to Enhance Feeling Responsibly I have Individuals towards The role that This technology plays a role in their professional and personal lives.

The study explored how individuals of different age groups interact with the transformations imposed by the era of artificial intelligence, starting from their daily uses of this technology, to their expectations from educational institutions and employers in light of a digital economy witnessing rapid growth, thus providing a clear analytical picture of the trends related to artificial intelligence, education, and job opportunities in the Emirates.

Promoting awareness and education

In detail: He indicated more than 60% of survey participants indicated that they regularly use tools such as “GPT Chat,”Jiminy“, or “Copilot“For the purposes of learning, solving problems, or performing job tasks, while stressed 72% of them stressed the importance of promoting awareness and education about the use of this technology.

Although 59% of UAE residents reported that they feel confident when entering the labor market after graduation, but this percentage decreases to 44% among the age group of 18 to 24 year, which reflects the urgent need to enhance the role of educational institutions in preparing graduates to keep pace with the rapid transformations in various sectors.

More easy

Two-thirds of the study participants indicated (67%) noted that artificial intelligence tools make daily life easier, while he expressed 47% of them expressed their concerns that excessive reliance on these technologies may weaken learning and critical thinking skills.

She indicated The data indicates that the relationship of UAE residents with artificial intelligence goes beyond the stage of curiosity and exploration, to become more interactive and based on values. In addition, the study highlights the importance of human capabilities in light of the accelerating effects of artificial intelligence on various aspects of life, as more than half of the participants reported (56%) that their university experience provided them with practical skills that they still use today, even outside their fields of specialization, which emphasizes the importance of creativity, communication, the ability to adapt, and problem-solving in the modern work environment.

Confidence in entering the labor market

While the survey results showed that 44Only % of young people feel confident about entering the labor market in the Emirates, De University seeks Montfort Dubai seeks to address this gap by introducing an innovative educational approach represented by the block teaching system (Block Teaching).

Teaching in blocks

The block teaching model received strong support from the study participants, as he noted 52% of them indicated that focusing on one subject in each intensive block represents a more effective learning method compared to studying multiple courses at the same time.

The focus of the University of D Montfort Dubai, which conducted the study, has decided to integrate the innovative use of generative software into its curricula with the aim of providing students with 3000 Student, with the skills and knowledge necessary to use this technology ethically and innovatively, enabling them to contribute to shaping and developing the sectors in which they will work in the future.

Harness the power of artificial intelligence responsibly

This was confirmed by Senior Vice President of the Department of Artificial Intelligence in the United Kingdom, Professor Shushma Patel From the University of D MontfortThe results of the study highlight the importance of the role of universities in ensuring that the power of artificial intelligence is used responsibly, and she added: “Among all the technological innovations that we have witnessed over the past fifty years, there is nothing equivalent to artificial intelligence in its power and potential.”

Sector acceleration

She explained“As various sectors accelerate towards investing in the potential of artificial intelligence, it has become necessary for universities to remain at the forefront of this transformation, ensuring that students are able to acquire the required skills responsibly, and enhancing their awareness of the ethical dimensions associated with the use of this technology, in addition to supporting and adopting the innovation that this progress can result in in various fields.”

Integrating technologies

For his part, the International Vice President of D.U Montfort Simon said Bradbury: “At a time when most universities are focusing on how to integrate AI technologies into their curricula, we are asking a deeper question: What skills distinguish a graduate from the University of Montfort “This gives it its unique value in a world where artificial intelligence has become aware of everything.”

Capacity development

He continued, saying: “The answer lies in developing in-depth capabilities. Our block-based teaching model allows students the opportunity to devote themselves to mastering one subject at a time, which establishes in-depth experience that goes beyond superficial knowledge. Through this model, students learn how to employ artificial intelligence as an effective tool, in parallel with developing creativity skills, critical thinking, and cultural interaction. These are skills that algorithms cannot emulate. In this way, the university contributes to building a flexible career path capable of keeping pace with the challenges of the future labor market.”
