Answer
The department is clear that, while we recognise the transformative impact that artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies can have on education, they can only be effective when implemented and used safely.
Departmental officials are engaged with the Information Commissioner’s Office regarding the development of the EdTech and AI codes, including scope and interaction with other initiatives, such as proposals for a safety certification scheme for EdTech and AI.
The department continuously monitors the emerging implications of AI on education, including its use by pupils and teachers.
