OpenAI Publishes Report on Closing the AI Guidance Gap in Education

OpenAI has published its new report addressing partnerships with education systems and governments in the EMEA region aimed at closing the artificial intelligence guidance gap. According to ThinkYoung research, 79 percent of students use artificial intelligence for their homework, while only 47 percent are shown how to do so.

In the report published with the signatures of Tom Duff Gordon, OpenAI Vice President of Global Affairs EMEA, and Leah Belsky, Vice President of Education, it was stated that partnerships have been established with countries such as Estonia, Slovakia, Greece, and Italy in order to integrate artificial intelligence tools into education and support teachers. It was expressed that the primary goals in these collaborations are equal access to artificial intelligence tools, co-designed artificial intelligence literacy programs, and continuous assessment.

Based on research conducted by ThinkYoung, the report emphasized that 79 percent of students use artificial intelligence for their homework, but only 47 percent receive guidance on how to use this technology. Touching upon PISA and artificial intelligence discussions involving Andreas Schleicher from the OECD, the report noted that as artificial intelligence tools develop, the expertise and guidance roles of teachers become even more critical. It was reported that educational researchers are brought together within the OpenAI Learning Lab and these processes are monitored.
