Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

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

11:00 am

Mr. Pádraig Meade:

For a teacher with 30-plus years' experience, a lot could come down to knowing how a student should typically write. That could be a very easy way to recognise where students might be using AI, for example in their wording. Even if it is a first-year student who the teacher does not know anything about, the teacher might be able to use that student’s peers’ writing to judge if the student is using AI or not. Teachers who are younger and are coming up have experience with AI and should be able to identify it more easily, as they have used it a lot.
