There is an urgent need within the Scottish education system to address the rapid emergence of generative AI technologies, and to consider the ethical and educational issues raised as teachers and students experiment with its capabilities.
The AI futures for Scottish education project will generate high quality resources for schools and teachers, build teachers’ capacities to work with young people around AI futures and advocate for their voices to be heard in their schools, and engage school leaders and policymakers to build future visions around young people’s perspectives.
The project will focus on exploring important ideas about explainability, fairness and privacy, and connecting these with the values, hopes and concerns of stakeholders in the Scottish education system.
