Artificial Intelligence and Higher Education Transformation: The UAE Model for Inclusive and Innovative Learning

Abstract

The research discussed the impact of artificial intelligence on enhancing the adoption of inclusive and innovative learning. A deductive approach was adopted from the previous theories and studies through quantitative data gathered from 384 faculty members, university students, decision-makers, and education stakeholders in the United Arab Emirates. The researcher adopted a structured questionnaire to collect data. The results revealed that inclusive learning enhanced educational equity and equal opportunities and increased student academic engagement. Adopting innovative learning strategies, such as artificial intelligence and interactive digital technologies, contributes to nurturing critical and creative thinking skills among students. The results revealed that artificial intelligence efficiently contributed to corroborating the inclusive learning within the higher education institutions, since these technologies help provide a resilient educational environment that responds to the students' diverse needs. The results revealed that artificial intelligence mainly contributed to improving the innovative learning styles in higher education institutions, since these technologies provide smart educational tools that support creativity. The researcher recommended enhancing investments in educational AI technologies to support the digital transformation of higher education institutions in the UAE.
