Minister for Education and Youth Helen McEntee has welcomed the publication of a new Guidance on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Schools.
This new guidance is designed to support teachers and school leaders in their planning for the potential use of AI in teaching and learning, and to ensure that, where AI is deployed, it is used safely, ethically and appropriately.
Drawing on international best practice from UNESCO and the European Union (EU), it highlights relevant factors and suitable resources to inform schools and teachers in planning for the possible use of AI in teaching and learning. In addition, it supports good decision making around AI tools and practice where they are being used by teachers in their planning and preparation, as well as in some aspects of teaching and learning.
Minister McEntee said:
“I welcome the publication of the Guidance on AI for Schools. My department, with the support of Oide Technology in Education (TiE), is committed to supporting our school leaders and teachers in this evolving area to ensure all our students can reach their full potential”
