#AI implementation in schools to reduce workload on teachers

As a disruptive technology, artificial intelligence has the potential to impact every sector and education is no exception. While innovation in AI is still climbing the hype curve, we're already seeing its use cases begin to proliferate. Education Secretary Damian Hinds' call for innovative technologies such as AI to be implemented to relieve pressure on teachers is the latest recognition of the potential benefits which can be gained. By deploying AI and automation solutions to non-teaching tasks such as marking, admin and planning, time will be freed up for the UK's educators to focus on the'human' side of teaching. The increase in hands-on time in the classroom will not only benefit those in education, but also raise teachers' job satisfaction by allowing them to focus on the more fulfilling aspects of the job.
