Customised software solutions are growing in popularity across K-12 education institutions in the GCC even as hardware devices are being upgraded to make them AI ready and classrooms reimagined to support these advancements
School procurement patterns have undergone a sea change amidst the growing adoption of technology both within and outside the classroom.
Artificial Intelligence is fast gaining centre stage among educational institutions across the GCC, leading to a surge in demand for AI-related software solutions and hardware products in schools.
Commonly used devices such as computers, tablets and smart displays are being incorporated with components such as custom AI chips and high-performance memory architecture, which can handle higher computational power that is required to match the processing power and high data transfers that AI adoption requires.
While existing education-related products and solutions have been upgraded with enhanced capabilities and rebranded themselves as AI-capable, several new products such as 3D printers, VR headsets and infrastructure solutions like AI-powered cameras are witnessing large purchase orders.
