AI in education settings – union advocacy remains critical

9 March, 2026

Our union continues to monitor the impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology on the education landscape and advocate in the best interests of IEU members.

Schools are places of innovation and creativity, and teachers are often early adopters of new and emerging technologies.

Our union has been active in ensuring our members’ voices continue to be central to the debate, discussion and development of policies regarding the use of AI in education.

IEU‑QNT Research Officer Dr Adele Schmidt said AI can be a useful tool for both students and teachers when used safely and ethically, but ideas about what is safe and ethical vary.
