Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The ways in which education uses technology and in which people learn are transforming. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into education settings, it is essential that teachers understand both the opportunities and responsibilities associated with its use, which includes keeping learners safe. AI tools can aid lesson planning, personalise learning, streamline administrative tasks and enhance learner engagement. Its ethical use in an education setting, by you and your learners, must align with teaching standards, safeguarding practices and the best interests of learners.
You should be mindful of data privacy and intellectual property implications, ensuring that any AI tools used comply with relevant data protection and copyright laws and your employer's policies.
AI continues to be explored as a tool to enhance teaching and learning, but it should not be a replacement for your professional judgment. For example, it should never be used to make decisions about learner welfare and safeguarding. When using AI-generated content or tools, you must ensure appropriateness and inclusivity. It is important to be conscious of the concerns which have been raised about AI, for example potential inaccuracies and biases as well as the environmental impact of AI use, such as the carbon and water footprint. You must be transparent with colleagues, learners, parents and carers about the use of AI.
The fast rate at which AI is developing means that guidance and regulation on its use can lag behind the technology itself. In all circumstances, teachers are expected to think ethically when making professional judgments to ensure AI use is safe, responsible and in the best interests of learners.
