Ministers are scoping out how to ensure schools benefit financially from any future use of pupil data by artificial intelligence (AI) systems, Schools Week has learned.
The rapid rollout of generative AI such as ChatGPT and Google Bard has prompted a scramble across government to harness the technology’s power, but also to guard against any risks.
Such “large language models” could quickly process huge amounts of data, which experts say could help schools to understand their pupils better and analyse the impact of innovations.
Third-party organisations, including private companies, can already request data from the national pupil database for analysis.
