The report emphasizes that AI and digital tools are becoming increasingly prevalent in classrooms globally. Kane highlights the critical questions the report raises about the role of technology in education, the importance of maintaining professional judgment, and the risks associated with data, bias, and de-skilling. He underscores the need for teachers to take an active role in shaping how AI is implemented to ensure it supports rather than replaces their expertise.
