Event Summary

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how we live, work and learn. As generative AI tools become increasingly accessible, schools across Wales are beginning to explore how these technologies can support teaching, learning and school leadership, while also addressing new ethical, safeguarding and policy challenges.

Join Policy Insight Wales’ inaugural AI in Schools and Colleges Wales Digital Conference to explore the opportunities and implications of AI in education, drawing on the Education Digital Standards and Welsh Government guidance on generative AI in education.

We will explore how generative AI can be used in school and college settings to reduce workload, support administrative functions and assist with curriculum and assessment design. Gain insight into how AI can enhance learning, support teachers, and help prepare learners for a rapidly evolving digital world while recognising the central role teachers play in delivering high-quality education.

Hear from education leaders and experts on applications of AI in classrooms, including how it can assist with lesson preparation, provide feedback and create personalised learning experiences. Through best practice examples from schools and colleges already using AI effectively, we will explore how policies can be updated to address AI-related risks and respond to its implications for safeguarding, data protection and digital equity.

With education settings advised to undertake a data protection impact assessment before deploying AI tools, how can you ensure your school uses AI safely, ethically and lawfully?  Spotlighting safeguarding, we will explore how you can protect learners from online harms linked to AI including misinformation, deepfakes and age-inappropriate content.

You will hear the implications of AI for the Curriculum for Wales, including the importance of developing AI literacy, critical thinking and digital competence to equip learners with the skills needed to evaluate AI output, understand bias and question accuracy and reliability.

As AI becomes more embedded in the classroom and beyond, don’t miss this opportunity to understand how you can integrate AI effectively in practice.
