AI | FE Week - Part 3

AI will provide the fake evidence that wrecks teachers’ lives

The technology is out there for students with a grudge to unleash hell, so why aren’t ministers and unions talking about it

AI is reshaping our minds, not just our jobs

AI is reshaping the very fabric of human cognition and unless leaders act, workers will face a crisis of mastery, meaning, and mental health

Helping every learner use AI responsibly

AI didn’t wait to be invited into the classroom. It burst in mid-lesson. Across UK colleges, learners are already using AI to plan assignments, summarise sources, tidy up grammar and spelling, and even generate whole essays – often with varying levels of guidance from their tutors.

Trust AI to help deliver FE’s promise of personalised learning

FE Colleges are sitting on a depth of data. With AI, that data becomes a tool for better teaching, earlier intervention, and stronger student outcomes

AI is moving too fast for colleges to go it alone

In FE, no single teacher, regulator or IT lead can keep pace with AI’s risks and opportunities. But together through communities of practice, we can cut through the noise and turn uncertainty into practical guidance

AI is game-changing when it’s human, ethical and equitable

AI will be used in harmful ways if leadership teams don’t immerse themselves in understanding its risks and opportunities

It’s not if AI will change FE, it’s how boldly we shape it

As artificial intelligence reshapes every sector, further education must rise to the challenge—not just teaching AI, but reimagining education for the age of disruption

What ancient runners teach us about AI and education

The marathon-running paradox reveals a deeper debate about AI, and what we truly value in education

A copy-and-paste into AI opens up a new shadowy world of risk

For providers handling sensitive funding and learner data, invisible ‘shadow AI’ poses GDPR, security and reputational risks that can’t be ignored
