Dubai to introduce new AI rules for children next year
Dubai education authorities will issue new rules next year governing how artificial intelligence can be used by children in schools. The move is set to reshape classroom practices, affect parents and education technology providers, and signal Dubai’s wider approach to regulating AI in education across the UAE.
The guidance is intended to clarify how AI can be used safely in classroom settings and at home, and to set out responsibilities for schools and teachers when these tools are introduced into learning. While authorities have not released the details, the announcement signals a shift in how everyday learning tools will be governed and will require updates to school policies, staff training and parental communications.
Each group will need to adjust roles and routines to align with the forthcoming rules, with schools coordinating implementation and families seeking clarity on acceptable home use of AI tools.
The rollout positions Dubai as taking a proactive stance on AI in schools, balancing innovation with child safety and ethical considerations. The move underscores Dubai's interest in enabling innovation while setting protections for children.
Families and school leaders should follow official announcements, discuss potential classroom changes with administrators, and review the use of third‑party apps or services that involve AI. Vendors should expect to demonstrate compliance with safety and age‑appropriate practices once the rules are published.
Watch for formal guidance from Dubai education authorities next year and check official channels for updates and any published guidance. Read the original report:
Stakeholders across education are advised to monitor official announcements closely and prepare to update policies, training and parental communications when the guidelines are released.
