Benefits of AI outweigh the risks in education, report finds - Julie Hare, Australia Financial Report

“Educators need to have visibility into what the road map and process looks like for their role, now and into the future, with assistive AI in classrooms, along with the additions in skill sets they will need to support the industry.” She noted that, while there were six recommendations in the report around “support and training” for educators, they did not articulate the change management process or how teachers’ roles might be affected. The report notes there are several overseas examples to help Australia gain an understanding of how to navigate the benefits and risks. In 2019, Singapore became the first country in South-East Asia to develop a national AI strategy, including the use of AI in education as a national priority.
