ARWe are pleased to release a brand-new topic hub that explores the ins and outs of artificial intelligence with particular focus around how schools and other educational establishments should approach the subject with young people.

The capabilities of this technology has been making considerable impact across the world, with many AI tools being used regularly to support with work, creativity and efficiency.
Artificial Intelligence and Schools
With artificial intelligence quickly establishing itself in the world, schools may be concerned about how to approach such a vast subject with their students. AI is evolving rapidly, and there is currently a lot more work that needs to be done around regulation and safeguarding. Despite this, the fundamentals of keeping ourselves safe online will remain, and we can continue to educate around safe and responsible use of technology, whilst bringing AI into the discussion.
