Teachers and students in 'AI-limbo' without official guidelines on how technology can be used

Major changes to the Leaving Cert are due to begin from September, including the introduction of project work called additional assessment components (AACs) which will be worth 40% of a student's overall grade.

Schools, teachers, and students remain in “AI-limbo” without official guidelines on how and when the rapidly advancing, and now ubiquitous technology, can be used, or when its considered cheating.

The Department of Education previously planned to circulate guidance on the use of AI in teaching and learning to schools and students by the end of March.
