Tech barons must not be allowed shape education through 'voracious' profit-driven AI

TUI delegates tabled a demand to involve the teacher unions as partners in 'every decision-making process related to AI in education settings'.

Tech barons who "do not share or support our values" must not be allowed to shape the education system through "voracious" profit-driven artificial intelligence (AI), the Teachers Union of Ireland (TUI) conference has heard. 

TUI opened its annual congress on Tuesday in Kilkenny, where more than 500 delegates and guests were in attendance. The union represents more than 22,000 members in second-level schools, colleges, centres of further and adult education and institutes of technology/Technological University Dublin.
