Abu Dhabi startup is using AI to transform how kids learn

[The Alef Education platform] gives students, teachers and parents real-time feedback and adjusts accordingly. For students, that could mean a concept is repeated in a more personalized manner to help them understand it. The platform can also identify students’ strengths.

“Wouldn’t it be great if you could look at artificial intelligence and data to drive kids into the right careers, into the right choices for post secondary education?” Alphonso said.

“If a student is doing really well at science, why not pique their interest in what it’s like to be a scientist or an astronaut?” he said. “That’s our future aspiration, to use really all of that data and AI to create the individual learning path.”
