The Azerbaijan Ministry of Science and Education and OpenAI have
launched cooperation on the development of an adaptive learning
platform, AzerNEWS reports.
The platform is planned to be developed and implemented within
the framework of the “Digital School” project.
A Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Ministry of
Science and Education, the Ministry of Digital Development and
Transport, and OpenAI envisions the creation of AI-based adaptive
learning opportunities for more than 500,000 students.
The platform will be integrated into the existing national
curriculum and will function as an additional AI-based tool. The
solution to be developed will enable diagnostic assessment of
students’ knowledge and skills, provide personalized assignments
during lessons, and offer AI-based individual learning support
tailored to each student’s needs. It will also allow teachers,
school administrators, and the Ministry to access real-time
performance indicators.
In the initial phase, the platform will be implemented as a
pilot project and will be gradually expanded based on the results.
Its implementation will be carried out in compliance with
principles such as teacher supervision, alignment with the national
curriculum, continuous assessment, and data protection.
During the signing ceremony, Minister of Science and Education
Emin Amrullayev stated that the initiative aims to ensure effective
use of new AI tools for teachers and students while promoting
responsible application of these technologies. He noted that
cooperation with OpenAI supports the integration of artificial
intelligence into education and aligns with the priorities of the
“Action Plan for Accelerating Digital Development in the Republic
of Azerbaijan for 2026–2028,” approved by President Ilham
Aliyev.
Kevin Mills, Head of Go-to-Market for Education and Government
Programs at OpenAI, stated that Azerbaijan demonstrates a
thoughtful and ambitious approach to applying artificial
intelligence in education. He added that the partnership between
OpenAI and the Ministry of Science and Education is built on a
strong national digital infrastructure and a commitment to
supporting the practical and responsible use of AI by students and
teachers. He also spoke about research indicating that the
platform, developed using OpenAI’s API technologies, will support
learning, enhance classroom experience, and contribute to
developing essential future skills for students.
Within the framework of cooperation, the Ministry of Digital
Development and Transport and OpenAI will work together on the
development of the national AI innovation ecosystem.
This includes the organization of hackathons, “build days”
events, and structured research and development collaboration. The
goal is to strengthen Azerbaijan’s position as a regional hub for
AI-based solutions.
