Gradually, various nations are gathering data on the introduction and integration of AI into their educational systems. The UK Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) undertook an preliminary study into early adopters of AI in schools and further education colleges.
A cautious approach was reported across school leadership. The importance and contribution of 'AI champions' was identified as a key factor in creating opportunities for AI to be introduced and integrated into school learning.
The 'early adopters' report is supported by another Ofsted report on how is looks at AI during inspection and regulation. This does not spell out strict parameters but sets out expectations especially with regard to the use of AI by children and learners. In turn, Ofsted also provides its approach to AI in another paper.
All the above reveal the need to not rush into ad hoc use of AI, especially across the school sector. However, there is still an important need to ensure that AI is not simply ignored. Building capability across the educational workforce is one important aspect that needs to have already begun and be better planned, structured and supported.
