Micro-credentials and digital badges are the buzzwords to demonstrate the acquisition of industry-specific skills of the candidates. Integration of AI in open education could enhance the deployment of personalized higher education for everyone and can address several challenges related to retention, assessment, and credibility of micro-credentials in open pedagogy. Timely sharing of these credentials across a wide range of international systems through AI will widen the prospects of continuing education and employment for learners. The Middle East is making timely responses to the digitization of education systems. According to some market forecasts, the market for AI tools in the Middle East region will reach nearly eight billion dollars by the year 2027. There are several ethical dilemmas surrounding use of AI in education and micro-credential programs such as data privacy, biasness and fairness, equity in access, accountability, transparency, cultural sensitivity and the impacts on traditional education models and current review therefore stresses the need for comprehensive ethical guidelines and policies in the Middle East region rather blind adoption. The book chapter offers an analysis of the existing scenario, emerging opportunities and challenges and makes specific recommendations to expand and integrate AI tools in open education in the Middle East region.
