The survey of 500 secondary school teachers revealed that 41% believe there needs to be better regulation of AI with 31% wanting the government to step in to police its use.
'I see it as a positive'
The concerns of teachers were not shared by students - a mirror survey of pupils found that 68% believe they're getting better grades as a result of AI and 49% say excluding AI would have a negative impact on their learning.She said:"In terms of education I use it a lot for online homework, revision tool, so if I need any additional support and I don't want to ask my teacher or it's something that she can't give me it is available whenever I need it on AI programs.
"I see it as a positive because it's available whenever you need…however, I feel like some students might become too reliant upon it and it kind of takes away your own independence. "You can ask questions and you get instant feedback, instant answer… you're not really thinking for yourself."But fellow pupil Tito Thomson O'Reilly said he tends not to use AI for schoolwork."It removes a social interaction from the person.
"It's just something where someone can ask a bot, a little robot a question, and all you're getting is an immediate answer, but there isn't a sense of empathy. There's not sense of teamwork, it's just a straightforward answer."
