Artificial intelligence (AI) is now at the fingertips of every teacher and student. This background paper for consultation outlines what GenAI is capable of doing and how it has evolved, provides a very initial assessment of the potential implications in and outside classrooms, and presents some pointers for teachers, school leaders and policy-makers from around the world to consider in unlocking the potential of GenAI while safeguarding against its potential pitfalls. This was presented and discussed in the launch event of Schools+ Network and is now open for comments on the analysis, resources and examples on the potential impact that generative AI might have in the classroom.
