Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Youth

Curriculum Reform at Senior Cycle: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Preston Ó Caoimh:

That is a can of worms I am not sure I want to go into. We think AI is a very valuable educational tool but it needs to come with proper regulations. Obviously, what the Minister put out yesterday was a great step in the right direction. I have not had the chance to look over it. From what I have heard, it is only for school leaders. It does not include students and contains very little for teachers. There needs to be a lot more thought put into how AI can be used in schools and training teachers, as well as students, in how to use it correctly and, rather than using it to do their work for them, using it to enhance how they work and learn. Does that make sense?
