Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University (HBMSU) welcomed a delegation from the Sharjah Police Science Academy at its campus in Dubai to learn more about the University’s pioneering initiative, “An AI Agent for Every Faculty Member.” The initiative — the first of its kind in the region — aims to harness the power of artificial intelligence to enhance academic efficiency, enrich the learning experience, and foster institutional innovation.
The visit came as part of knowledge exchange efforts and the sharing of best practices in employing AI technologies in higher education, contributing to the UAE’s digital transformation journey in alignment with the UAE Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2031, the “We the UAE 2031” vision, and the Dubai Digital Strategy toward building a globally leading knowledge society.
The visiting delegation included Brigadier Dr. Jamal Ahmed Al Shehhi, Head of the Delegation; Colonel Dr. Mohammed Ali Al Shehhi, Director of General Services Department; Major Dr. Saif Ahmed Khalaf Al Zaabi, Head of the Education and Graduate Studies Section; First Lieutenant Ali Hareb Al Mazrouei, Head of Quality Division; and Corporal Somaya Imam Al Blooshi from the Strategic Planning and Institutional Excellence Department.
The HBMSU leadership welcomed the delegation, represented by H.E. Dr. Mansoor Al Awar, Chancellor of HBMSU; Prof. Ahmed Ankit, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs; Meitha Al Teneiji, Vice Chancellor for AI and Technology; and Ali Al Lengawy, Director of Business Development.
Meitha Al Teneiji delivered a comprehensive presentation outlining the objectives and framework of the initiative, highlighting its role in empowering faculty members to leverage AI tools to enhance teaching methodologies, improve academic performance, and promote a culture of innovation and continuous development. The presentation also showcased implementation mechanisms, practical use cases, and future directions for expanding the initiative across and beyond the university.
H.E. Dr. Mansoor Al Awar, Chancellor of Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University, said:
“The ‘AI Agent for Every Faculty Member’ initiative embodies the vision of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence of the UAE, and University President, to transform artificial intelligence into an empowering force that enhances human potential rather than replaces it. Through this initiative, we seek to redefine the role of faculty members in the age of AI — turning HBMSU into a self-learning, self-evolving university that nurtures a generation of thinkers and innovators capable of leading the knowledge and economic transformation of the UAE and the world.”
