Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion
11:00 am
Mr. Pádraig Meade:
Teachers and education overall will have to adapt because there is no way AI will just disappear. It should be faced. It should definitely be encouraged in certain scenarios so students know how to use it and get the best benefits out of it without becoming lazy or overreliant on it. The way I have always seen it is that the tools are there in front of us and it is up to whoever to use the tools in the right way or the wrong way. AI can actually develop someone's writing skills so they are better, but at the same time it could also be very detrimental to their learning abilities.
