AI tools can enhance learning and assist educators in lesson planning and marking. However, generative AI tools like ChatGPT can produce text that can pass exams, potentially undermining assessment methods. Over-reliance on AI could weaken educator-learner relationships and negatively impact learners’ writing and critical thinking skills. The Department for Education has announced an investment of up to £2 million for AI-powered resources. Successful implementation requires evidence, training, and legal frameworks.
