“Unfortunately, in many ways, AI is quietly automating educational inequity, exacerbating the school-to-prison nexus, further reinforcing tracking and within-school segregation, and creating “synthetic” gaps in achievement and opportunity”
#AI will not save us from greedy billionaires
It will not prevent greed

“The weight of the available evidence suggests that the current wholesale adoption of unregulated AI applications in schools poses a grave danger to democratic civil society and to individual freedom and liberty.”
We need a pedagogical approach not an economical one

Hear, hear Bob!
Like all other learning technology innovation, #AI use must be grounded in established #FE pedagogy and introduced in collaboration with - or preferably led by - expert educator and learner voices.
