As part of the Quebec government’s work on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in schools, Education Minister Bernard Drainville launched a guide for teaching staff on Wednesday.
The document, entitled “The pedagogical and ethical use of generative artificial intelligence (GAI)” sets out the criteria for the pedagogical, ethical and legal use of AI.
Drainville believes that the subject is unavoidable, since “artificial intelligence is now an integral part of our reality, including in our schools.”
“To ignore this new reality would be to close our eyes,” he said. “That’s why we prefer to guide school teams and students towards responsible use of artificial intelligence. With this guide, we are creating an additional tool for school staff and students, for the benefit of educational success.”
He stressed that “the development of artificial intelligence has made lightning progress in recent years.”
