Schools Are Banning AI… BUT These Teachers Think That’s A Huge Mistake

Should schools ban AI, or is banning it the worst thing they could do?

Children are already using ChatGPT, Gemini and AI image generators. But while some schools are blocking the technology, others are teaching pupils how to use it critically, creatively and responsibly.

In this episode of AI Haven't a Clue, we speak to Tom Le Tissier, Head of Alleyn's Regent's Park, and Amy Austin, Head of Digital Learning, about the future of AI in education.

Tom's school group developed its AIQ curriculum with MIT and other universities, while Amy is bringing AI literacy into the classroom, helping children understand everything from algorithms and misinformation to AI-generated images.

We discuss:

• Why banning AI at school might leave children less prepared for the real world

• Whether ChatGPT is helping pupils learn or simply doing their homework

• Why children can struggle to tell AI-generated images from reality

• How teachers are using AI to support learning, marking and personalised feedback

• Why critical thinking and creativity could become the most important skills children learn

If AI is going to be part of every child's future, shouldn't every child learn how it works?
