The second speaker, Dr. Attia Aman Ullah from UniMAP, Malaysia, brought a fresh perspective on how artificial intelligence (AI) can be applied in various aspects of education, including technology utilization in classrooms, staff management, assessment, transportation maintenance, and cybersecurity.

Artificial Intelligence Tools in Education

In his presentation, Dr. Attia Aman Ullah explained the various ways in which artificial intelligence technology can have a positive impact on education. He began with a discussion of AI tools that can help in maximizing the learning and teaching experience. The use of AI in assessment, staff scheduling, transportation management, and cybersecurity and management are concrete steps that can improve educational efficiency.
AI Applications in the Classroom: Playful Learning and Management
Dr. Attia Aman Ullah also highlighted how gamified learning can increase student engagement in learning. The use of AI in creating engaging learning experiences and interacting in innovative ways can improve student understanding and motivation.
Also, in management, the use of AI can ease staff scheduling and organization in administrative aspects, which will indirectly have a positive impact on the effectiveness of the education system.

Cybersecurity and Management in Education

In the digital era, cybersecurity is crucial. Dr. Attia Aman Ullah explained how AI can be leveraged to manage and mitigate cybersecurity risks in educational institutions. This involves threat detection, monitoring, and more responsive management of potential cyber threats.

The Role of AI in Higher Education and Critical Thinking
Furthermore, Dr. Attia Aman Ullah discussed the role of artificial intelligence in higher education. He highlighted how AI technology can help students and researchers in supporting more efficient information retrieval and research processes. With a critical approach to the information found, these technologies can advance academic quality.
The Role of Teachers and Students in the Context of AI
Apart from being a learning tool, AI can also act as a smart teacher and student. It can serve as a personal teacher that blends data to provide personalized learning that suits the student's needs. On the other hand, AI can also be a "student" that learns from interactions with humans.

The Role of Policy Advisor

Dr. Attia Aman Ullah concluded his talk by highlighting the role of AI as an advisor in education policy making. By analyzing data and trends, this technology can provide valuable insights in making more effective education policy decisions.
In this session, the seminar participants got a comprehensive view of how AI technology can shape the future of education. With various applications explained by Dr. Attia Aman Ullah, AI has great potential to improve efficiency, engagement, and safety in education.
