Recent advances in AI may catalyse a transformation in education. Current generative AI (GenAI) tools are powerful, yet brittle. They can act as useful learning companions, but they are known to be unreliable, often biased and potentially misleading. There is an urgent need to develop critical AI literacy in learners, and to support teachers in developing the skills and knowledge to incorporate GenAI in their classroom teaching and learning responsibly.
As part of the RAi UK Skills Programme, the Data Education in Schools team are working closely with teachers and partner organisations in Scotland (Scottish Government, Education Scotland, Scottish Qualifications Authority) to create resources to support key critical AI literacy skills to equip young people for living and working in the age of AI and offer professional learning for teachers.

In the context of this project, Data Education in Schools recruited a cohort of six AI Teachers in Residence from secondary schools in Scotland who will create learning resources on the use and understanding of AI across different subjects.
