CEDoW’s approach to Generative AI
CEDoW’s approach to Generative AI
Our approach is grounded in the five essential elements of the Faith, Learning & Wellbeing Framework, ensuring technology enhances rather than diminishes the human experience. By mandating the use of endorsed tools and adherence to ethical principles, we cultivate a safe and supportive Environment that champions Equity through accessible, non-discriminatory practice. The requirement for deep professional scrutiny and critical analysis of AI outputs upholds Rigour, while teaching students to retain human control over these tools fosters genuine Agency. Ultimately, integrating these tools with a focus on human dignity ensures Relevance, connecting student learning to a rapidly evolving digital world while maintaining our Catholic identity.
Two years ago, CEDoW developed an early response to the emergence of Gen AI, which provided a framework for applying the Australian Gen AI principles within a risk based approach (See: Full Gen AI Interim Position Paper). Since this paper’s publication, Gen AI systems and their use in schools have evolved, precipitating renewed advice and guidance.
Regardless of the degree to which staff have interacted with Gen AI tools to date, recent surveys consistently show student and staff use is high and growing, with some surveys finding 86% of secondary students using Gen AI regularly to assist with learning.
This short guide has been designed to assist school staff navigate their use of Gen AI for the ultimate benefit of the students they serve.
The recently established CEDoW Gen AI Advisory Committee will be approving a series of AI Insights - (Information Sheets/Online Learning Modules and Webinars) to further guide the use of Gen AI tools across the system.
