The U.K.'s Jisc is leading an initiative to launch a new National Centre for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Tertiary Education. The centre "will identify effective AI solutions, measuring them against its ethical framework, and testing how they improve learner experiences... Its main aim is to ensure AI is used in ways that augment teachers' skills and supports human-led education by developing staff skills and confidence in using AI tools." Put this way, it sounds almost as though the purpose is to contol and limit the use of AI in education, not to 'unleash the power'. See also this additional article from Andy McGregor, Jisc's Director of edtech, 'Putting ethical artificial intelligence at the heart of tertiary education'.
