Education professionals, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology specialists, and ed-tech experts are embracing the opportunities offered by AI in the education sector, according to the results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education, published today.
Results show that many respondents recognise the benefits of AI and some are already using AI tools to streamline administrative tasks, create subject-specific resources and provide personalised support for learners with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
Other opportunities cited include the creation of more interactive lessons, and additional support for learners for whom English is an additional language.
The respondents range from educators in schools, colleges and universities, to research bodies including The Alan Turing Institute and Jisc.
