Phillipson emphasized that establishing effective AI guidelines is a critical challenge for global education in this generation.

Next year, the UK will host a summit aimed at developing comprehensive global guidelines for the use of generative AI in education.

The UK government is allocating £1.1 million for a pilot program aimed at exploring how technology can enhance teacher workload and support inclusivity for children with special educational needs.

Currently, the UK government is utilizing AI to generate attendance reports to reduce student absenteeism and plans to expand its use in other educational areas.

Safety is regarded as the top priority in these guidelines, which prohibit the use of students' work to train AI models without prior consent.

The UK government aims to expand AI applications in education beyond attendance reporting to further enhance educational outcomes.

In her speech at the Education World Forum in London, Phillipson will stress the need for a global consensus on effective educational technology tools.

Phillipson highlighted that technology can alleviate teachers' administrative burdens, allowing them to focus more on teaching and improving student engagement.

Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson announced that the UK will support international guidelines for the use of generative AI, including tools like ChatGPT, in schools.

Current guidelines allow schools to independently decide on the use of generative AI, ensuring they meet legal obligations while prioritizing safety.

The UK government will fund efforts to create guidelines for the safe and effective integration of AI in classrooms, alongside the pilot program focused on improving staff workload.

Phillipson asserts that technology will lead to improved student attention, higher standards, and reduced stress for educators.
