Intel has partnered with Disrupt-X and the Taaleem education group to launch what is being called the world's first AI-driven certification platform for the education sector. In this collaboration, Intel will supply the advanced Edge AI and Cloud technologies, while Disrupt-X will power the initiative with its ALEF 360° platform. The project aims to create a new standard for AI-driven safety and sustainability in schools.

Taaleem, a prominent education provider, will implement the initiative at its campuses as pilot sites for the program.
