Emirates Post Issues Stamp Set Celebrating AI In UAE Schools
The release coincides with the rollout of artificial intelligence as a compulsory subject across public schools from kindergarten to Grade 12.
Emirates Post has issued a commemorative stamp set to mark the introduction of artificial intelligence as a mandatory subject in the UAE’s national school curriculum.
The release aligns with the nationwide rollout of AI education across government schools for the 2025–2026 academic year, covering students from kindergarten through Grade 12. The policy embeds AI into core learning as the country pushes to align education with its digital transformation agenda.
Launched under the banner “Year of Community – Education through Artificial Intelligence”, the four-stamp collection depicts technology-enabled classrooms. Students are shown interacting with smart devices, robotics and drones, reflecting the applied focus of the curriculum rather than abstract theory.
Education authorities have positioned the program around practical use and ethical awareness, aiming to equip students with problem-solving skills and the ability to engage responsibly with fast-moving technologies. The approach is intended to strengthen human capital as AI adoption accelerates across the economy.

Emirates Post said the issue forms part of its role in recording major milestones in the UAE’s development, using stamps to reflect shifts in public policy and national priorities. The classroom rollout also supports the country’s bid to position itself as a global technology hub, as regional competition intensifies to build advanced digital skills from an early age.
The stamp collection is available at National Network for Logistics (NXN) branches and through the Emirates Post online store.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT Health Is A Private Space For Health Data
A new health mode lets the popular AI platform tap medical records and fitness apps while walling off sensitive information.
OpenAI has created ChatGPT Health, a separate space inside its chatbot platform for handling medical and wellness data. The opt-in feature starts with a small US cohort before widening out.
Health-related questions have long driven traffic to AI tools. OpenAI says over 230 million people ask ChatGPT about health or insurance each week. The new mode adds personal context to that behavior but stops short of diagnosis or treatment advice.
Users can connect records from participating US providers through b.well and link apps such as Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, Function and Weight Watchers. Some links are US-only, while Apple Health needs iOS. Once connected, ChatGPT can surface patterns in labs, summarize information ahead of a clinic visit or help map diet and exercise choices against past data.
The data sits apart from other chat information. Health has its own memories and does not spill into other conversations. Users can view or delete health memories at any time. OpenAI says this material is not used to train its models.
Security is much heavier in this section too. Health adds isolation and purpose-built encryption on top of the platform’s baseline protections. App connections require explicit permission, and disconnecting cuts the feed immediately.
“ChatGPT Health is another step toward turning ChatGPT into a personal super-assistant that can support you with information and tools to achieve your goals across any part of your life,” wrote Fidji Simo, OpenAI’s applications chief.

Physicians had input during development, though OpenAI has not detailed how that shaped the end product. The launch follows Health Bench, a dataset released in May to test models on realistic medical cases.
While currently rooted in the US healthcare ecosystem, the approach may draw interest in the Gulf and wider MENA markets as governments push digital health records and patient portals under modernization programs. Adoption will depend on whether users trust an AI assistant with such personal material and whether it fits clinical routines.
For OpenAI, the move marks a cautious step into regulated terrain and signals a shift toward sector-specific uses of generative AI.
