AI-enabled tools and products are now more widely available in schools and other providers. This means that these technologies are affecting children and learners and the people who care for, educate and support them.
The Department of Education’s recent call for evidence about AI in education demonstrates that many education providers are using AI to augment how they work.
For many education and social care providers this new technology presents both new opportunities and risks.[footnote 1] The use of these tools will in many cases affect children and learners.
Ofsted is also using AI, most notably in our risk assessment of good schools to help decide whether a school that was judged good at its last inspection will receive a graded or ungraded inspection. We are also exploring how AI can help us to make better decisions based on the information we hold, and to work more efficiently.
