Ms Layla-Grace White:

I completely agree. Some teachers have even started in that regard. If they suspect a piece of work is AI-generated, they make the student sit down and do it in front of them, with no phone, in an exam-type situation. However, AI has positives in that it can aid learning. Even outside the education field and in various workplaces, it has so many positives where problem-solving is concerned. However, with leaving certificate reform AI will have to be kept in mind, especially where there are classroom-based assessments that are essay-style, because it will not be fair. There would be a return to what happened during the Covid pandemic, when there was a higher college dropout rate because students could not sustain the levels indicated by their results.
