'AI in UK schools? I'd give us 5 out of 10'

On a visit to China this summer, I was asked by a local journalist if I thought their country's education and training system was ready for artificial intelligence (AI) and the fourth industrial revolution (4IR). This got me thinking about what it means for any country – let's say the UK – to be AI-ready in educational terms. In this country, there is increasing discussion and debate around the use of technology, including AI, in teaching and learning. Most teachers know the technology exists, but perhaps not necessarily how it can help them in their everyday work. Need to know: What is the fourth industrial revolution?
