Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion

11:00 am

Ms Eugenie Kelleher:

Yes, absolutely. AI or technology providers should provide some general training to teachers around that so they can flag or know how to flag certain ways in which sentences are formed by the AI that is different from how humans would do it in a conversational sense. I found that AI in general does not understand the art of human conversation. Certain words would be repeated in a paragraph whereas a person would use a synonym for that word in general.

That would be one of the ways in which something that is partially AI-generated in some way could be flagged.
