Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

UK government to equip teachers with AI tools to help them "mark and plan lessons"

The project, which has £4 million of government investment behind it, will feed government documents – including curriculum guidance, lesson plans, and anonymized pupil assessments – into AI models, which will then spit out "accurate, high quality content."

[...]

The £4 million in funding will be divided into £3 million for the content store itself – which will consist of teaching standards, guidelines, and lesson plans – and £1 million for AI companies that come up with "the best ideas to put the data into practice to reduce teacher workload."

Moves to deal with teacher workload have been broadly welcomed, although the use of AI was greeted with caution.

[...]

The journalists asked the government how anonymity will be protected in the training set and how the scenario where an AI might end up marking homework generated by an AI from a lesson plan produced by an AI might be avoided, but they have yet to receive a response, the article says.
