The government has introduced a £4 million initiative aimed at enhancing the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in education. This initiative includes the establishment of a £3 million data store that will contain essential educational data, such as the national curriculum and anonymized pupil assessments, to assist AI technology companies in developing their tools. The goal is to create AI-driven educational resources that can produce customized content and support teachers in grading assignments.
Research indicates that parents favor the integration of generative AI in classrooms to allow teachers to focus more on direct student engagement. The initiative is designed to alleviate administrative burdens on educators, enabling them to deliver more creative and effective lessons. Additionally, a £1 million catalyst fund will be available for companies that propose innovative AI solutions to further reduce teachers' workloads.
