BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 23. The Ministry of
Science and Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan and OpenAI have
signed a three-year Memorandum of Understanding in New York to
expand the responsible use of AI across Azerbaijan’s education
system.
This was reported by the press service of the ministry.
The Memorandum was signed in New York by Emin Amrullayev,
Minister of Science and Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan,
and Leah Belsky, Vice President of Education at OpenAI.
The new cooperation will focus on developing AI-powered
educational tools and learning systems, providing teachers and
education professionals with training on the effective use of AI
technologies, and developing approaches and standards for the safe
and responsible use of AI in schools. A key part of the cooperation
will be the joint development of the ministry’s learning management
system for mathematics, science and reading, using OpenAI
models.
The system is expected to provide teachers with AI-powered
support for lesson planning, teaching materials and assessment.
These tools are intended to reduce the time teachers spend on
preparation and allow them to devote more time to working directly
with students.
As part of the cooperation, OpenAI will also support training
programs for teachers, students and education staff. A
“train-the-trainer” program will help develop local expertise and
enable education institutions in Azerbaijan to build long-term
capacity in the effective use of AI.
The parties will also work together on guidance and
methodologies to promote the responsible and safe use of artificial
intelligence in education.
This is the second Memorandum of Understanding signed between
the Ministry of Science and Education and OpenAI, further expanding
the cooperation between the two sides and establishing a new
framework for the development and application of AI-based solutions
in Azerbaijan’s education system.
