Artificial Intelligence (AI) Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of machines to perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence. AI has many applications in education. For staff supporting students with special educational needs, AI can provide valuable tools to help students learn and succeed. For example, AI can adapt to a student's individual learning needs, providing personalised instruction and feedback.

Caution What AI is excellent at is creating, adapting and personalising content which can be used to support students learning. No matter what tool you use you should always check what is produced, whether that is searching on the internet or using AI. AI works by predicting the next word in a sentence based on probability. It is a master at it, but it does not know or understand what it is producing. Knowing this will help you maximise its potential.
