Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

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

11:00 am

Ms Eugenie Kelleher:

When students come into first year and meet all their teachers, the teachers do not know what their individual writing style is yet or how it has developed over the years. A child going into first year who already is using ChatGPT or Snapchat AI or whatever kind of AI software can take advantage of the fact that his or her teachers do not know him or her or his or her individual writing style and the child essentially can use it without repercussions. The teacher cannot tell if what they have written is in their own writing style.
