The partnerships are set to bring scalable and secure edtech solutions to educational institutions, leveraging Samsung's government-grade Knox security. Samsung and its partners plan to facilitate various workshops and provide a library of multimedia resources to support AI adoption in education, helping to expand AI literacy among educators and users.

"The age of artificial intelligence has accelerated the demand for suitable technology to build relevant 21st-century skills, including AI and digital literacy. By partnering with like-minded organisations, we are well placed to offer AI-ready solutions for the education sector with our devices and our partners' comprehensive offerings,” said Dennis Jang, President of Samsung Electronics Singapore. “The MoUs signed are proof of our commitment, and we will work closely with partners within the sector to further the delivery of relevant digital skills, made possible with Galaxy and Samsung Knox."

Samsung's partnership with Challenger Technologies is aimed at promoting the adoption of mobile AI devices in the education sector through hardware offerings and post-sales support. The partnership targets engagement with up to 2,000 educators and users via workshops specially designed by Samsung.

"As a leading IT provider in Singapore, we are excited to work with Samsung to deliver technology tools and resources for the education sector, especially in addressing increased demand for AI tools in a secure and trusted environment. We are aligned in providing robust, quality and accessible education learning products and services to the next generation, and we believe that this partnership will allow us to tap into Samsung's expertise to accelerate the uptake of mobile AI devices across various learning environments,” said Loo Pei Fen, Managing Director of Challenger Technologies.

Samsung's collaboration with Geniebook aims to redefine learning experiences by integrating AI-powered e-learning experiences accessible on Galaxy tablets secured with Knox. This provides a personalised and secure educational environment for users, incorporating features like the S Pen.

"At Geniebook, we rely on technology to deliver personalised learning experiences for students. Education is personal, and in order to scale the customised approach, we turned to AI to help create a robust solution where both students and their parents can be on top of learning progress,” said Neo Zhizhong, CEO of Geniebook. “Working with Samsung allows us to further enhance our students' learning experience with Galaxy AI while also securing the experience through Samsung Knox, and we look forward to redefining the learning experience for our mobile-first students."

Through its alliance with TeachingTutor.ai, Samsung seeks to enhance AI-powered learning by providing personalised learning experiences without the need for constant online connectivity, addressing potential challenges in network infrastructure and cost in educational settings.

"Many AI services today require active network connectivity, but this may be a challenge in educational institutions where cost and infrastructure may be a challenge,” said Harry Katsiabanis, Chief Investment Officer of TeachingTutor.ai. “Hence, our partnership with Samsung is a breakthrough for AI learning platforms as the Galaxy device architecture will allow for TeachingTutor.ai platform to perform, even when the device is not connected online. This will allow learners to enjoy learning without worries."
