The Emirates Group brought attention to Dubai AI Week 2025 by emphasizing the necessity of integrating artificial intelligence instruction into educational curricula for developing national personnel to match the future job market requirements. The group explained that creating technology-ready Emirati professionals demands a partnership between educational institutions and business organizations and government legislation bodies.
Yousif bin Lahej as Vice President of Emiratisation and Government Partnership at Emirates Group and Board Member of the Emirati Human Resources Development Council explains that Artificial Intelligence surpasses its status as a tool because it mandates an intelligent network between educational sectors and employment fields.
According to WAM interviews with bin Lahej during the event he explained that closing the educational output gap with business market needs calls for changes to curriculum layout and job positions and the related legal system. AI technologies require educational institutions to update their structures while businesses need to adapt employment systems which reflect contemporary AI-driven abilities and procedures.
According to Bin Lahej the awareness program should initiate in family settings before spreading toward educational and institutional organizations. National awareness programs should be launched to eliminate AI confusion and establish an innovative culture across the country.
He pointed out AI creates a fundamental shift in workplace tasks that makes numerous established roles unneeded. Upcoming labor demand requires workers to learn completely different skill sets thus the coming generation needs proper training to meet these requirements. Organizations need to develop digital competencies and flexibility as well as innovative thinking from educational programs through professional development systems.
Bin Lahej emphasized that cooperation has turned into an essential necessity for our generation because we need both a legal system that is flexible and a contemporary educational framework to develop future leaders who excel in AI.
