• How can artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies be implemented in our settings so that they do not widen existing inequalities or create new inequalities?
Background
Technology, including digital technology and artificial intelligence, has great potential to transform lives, but we need to develop our expertise to deploy them well, and to help learners, families and carers to use them safely and judiciously, taking account of the need for a healthy balance of “screen time” and time away from screens. (For brevity, please read all references to children as encompassing both children and young people where appropriate).
