About

Eva Hobeika is a rising scholar whose work bridges artificial intelligence literacy, cross-cultural psychometrics, and educational technology. Her primary research focuses on developing and validating culturally adapted assessment tools, with a particular emphasis on AI literacy in Arabic-speaking populations. Her most-cited work, the multinational validation of the Arabic version of the Artificial Intelligence Literacy Scale (AILS), addresses a critical gap—the absence of a validated Arabic instrument to measure AI literacy among university students. By rigorously testing the scale across four Arab countries, including Lebanon and Saudi Arabia, she has provided a foundational tool for researchers and educators to assess and enhance AI competencies in the region. This study, published in 2024 and already garnering 14 citations, underscores the growing demand for culturally responsive measures in the digital age. Hobeika’s contributions are particularly notable for their methodological rigor and their potential to inform policy and curriculum development in Arab higher education. Her work exemplifies how psychometric innovation can empower diverse communities to engage meaningfully with emerging technologies.
