While seven in ten students in UAE and KSA believe their university is adapting fast enough to include AI tools, only 53% in UAE and 57% in KSA have received formal training, policies, or guidelines on the 'ethical use of AI', creating a grey area of high adoption and high anxiety.

Confidence in future employment has decreased year on year, signaling a growing disconnect between academic skill development and career readiness in an AI-enabled labor market.
