Artificial intelligence guidelines for teachers and students 'notably absent', report finds

A spokesman for the Department of Education said it was currently finalising guidance on the use of AI in teaching and learning.

Many schools continue to rely on outdated technology policies as they await clear directions on the use of artificial intelligence (AI), research from the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) highlights.  

It comes as teachers and students remain without official guidelines on the appropriate, and inappropriate, usage of the rapidly advancing technology in teaching and learning.
