Gulf News reported that Alef Education presented AI Auto Grading at Ai Everything Abu Dhabi, which ended on 7 October. Gulf News said the tool uses AI to support grading, so teachers can finish routine assessment tasks faster. Gulf News reported Alef’s aim: reduce teachers’ administrative workload and give them more time with students who need extra support. Gulf News quoted CEO Geoffrey Alphonso saying AI should support teachers rather than replace them, and that the tools are built to work across different education systems. WAM reported before the event that Alef would also show its new AI Literacy Programme, which teaches students to understand, evaluate and create responsibly with AI. Gulf News listed the other tools on show: Alef Teacher Studio, Alef AI Insights and Alef Pathways. WAM said Alef’s products reach about two million registered students across around 20,000 schools. Zawya carried the company’s post-event announcement. What it adds up to
Alef’s pitch shows a careful way to use AI for grading: the tool does the routine marking and the teacher keeps the decisions. That split works for any review task at work, from checking expense claims to scoring supplier bids. If you use AI to review or score something, give it a clear rubric and ask it to explain each score. Then check a sample of its results yourself before you trust the rest.
