TEXT III
The English schools looking to dispel ‘doom and gloom' around Al
Charles Darwin chatting with students about evolution, primary school pupils seeing their writing transformed into images, Luton reimagined as a cool automobile - artificial intelligence is invading schools across England in surprising ways.
While Bridget Philipson, the education secretary, in January called for a “digital revolution” involving Al in schools, it has already begun in places such as Willowdown primary school in Bridgwater, Somerset.
Matt Cave, Willowdown's head teacher, said his pupils improve their descriptive writing by feeding their work into an Al client to generate images.
“All of a sudden they've got all these pictures from different people’s descriptions, and they can then discuss with their classmates whether that was the image they expected to be in the reader’s head,” Cave said.
“It was really stimulating and thought-provoking for them to have a different audience.” The results, according to Cave, have been "brilliant” and a contrast to the “doom and gloom” he had heard from worried school leaders.
“I wouldn't want anyone to think we weren't aware of the potential hazards - we emphasise that to the children continually. But it's going to be a tool that they are going to need to use all their lives,” Cave said.
Marina Wyatt, head of science for key stage 3 at Furze Platt senior school in Maidenhead, said that she has found teacher-led use of Al useful for engaging students in discussions, including with a virtual Charles Darwin.
In the prompt we tell it to respond as Charles Darwin, and stay in the role. And it works. It came up with some brilliant stuff.
