Striking the balance of AI in the early years
It is no secret that the use of artificial intelligence is rapidly increasing. According to research from KPMG, more than two-thirds (69%) of UK adults use AI while Office for National Statistics figures show that usage in businesses has almost tripled in the last three years. It’s not surprising, therefore, that thoughts have now turned to how developments in AI, and more widely in digital technology, might impact the education sector.
