This is an EmpowerED session presented by Educate Ventures. In EmpowerED sessions an organisation presents its own work; here Professor Rose Luckin and Dina Foster of Educate Ventures speak, and HeadteacherChat has not independently reviewed the resources, CPD or events they mention. Published 11 November 2024, so AI tools and guidance described are as they stood then.

What this covers

  • What artificial intelligence is and how quickly it is changing education.
  • Possible benefits: teaching support, personalised learning and less workload.
  • Risks: inaccuracy, bias, data risks and unintended consequences.
  • Ethical and safeguarding concerns when introducing AI.
  • Resources and CPD for leaders and teachers, a national AI benchmarking exercise and a briefing on Ofsted's and Ofqual's responses to AI.

Before you act on it

Start from the DfE's position on generative AI in education. AI tools used in school fall under the filtering and monitoring standards and Keeping children safe in education like any other online service, and where a tool processes pupil or staff data, run a data protection impact assessment.
