• Increased personalisation: AI can help to personalise instruction for each child, which can lead to improved learning outcomes.

• Reduced workload: AI can automate many of the tasks that teachers typically do, which can free up their time for more important activities.

• Improved understanding: AI can help teachers to better understand their childrens' strengths and weaknesses, which can lead to more effective teaching.

• Enhanced creativity: AI can be used to create new and innovative learning experiences that are not possible with traditional methods.

• Bias: AI models can be biased - It is important that you are still critical of any information developed by AI and you don't just accept it as fact. Any AI generated data should still be read, edited and fact checked.  

• Privacy: AI systems collect a lot of data, which raises privacy concerns. It is important not to put sensitive information into AI tools including school names, children's names or anything else that can be used to identify an individual or an organisation.

• Cost: AI systems can be expensive to develop and implement - and at the moment, there are so many new tools out there. It is not possible to buy every single one.

Here are some specific examples of how Google Bard can support educators: -
