The role of AI in Education

Scientific evidence must guide the role of AI in education

As AI continues to shape conversations across education, Explore Learning CEO Lisa Haycox has contributed to the latest edition of Education Today, exploring the role evidence and learning science should play in the development of AI-powered learning tools.

The piece looks at both the opportunities and challenges AI presents within education, particularly when it comes to personalised learning and supporting children with additional needs. It also highlights the importance of ensuring technology is focused on improving outcomes for children, rather than being adopted for its own sake.

Drawing on themes explored in Explore Learning’s recent white paper, The Evidence Imperative, the article reflects on how AI can support meaningful personalisation when informed by learning science, thoughtful implementation and strong human support.
