Deconstructing The Australian Framework for Generative AI in Schools

The Australian education sector is at the forefront of exploring how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can benefit schools. The recently released Australian Framework for Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Schools provides a valuable guide for educators considering how to integrate AI tools responsibly and ethically.

This framework emphasises human-AI collaboration and six core ethical principles, ensuring AI is used to enhance, not replace, the irreplaceable role of teachers.

At Gradeo, an edtech startup specialising in online assessment, we share this vision. Our platform leverages cutting-edge AI for question generation, but we firmly believe teachers are the cornerstone of effective learning. Our AI generates feedback to augment your marking, not replace it. This frees you up for more one-on-one interaction, the key to unlocking student potential.

Here's a closer look at the six key principles of the Australian Framework for AI-powered assessment, ensuring your practice aligns with these important guidelines:

1. Teaching and Learning: AI should be used to improve the quality of teaching and student learning experiences.
2. Human and Social Wellbeing: The use of AI should prioritize the well-being of students, teachers, and the broader community.
3. Transparency: The use of AI should be transparent and understandable to all stakeholders.
4. Fairness: AI tools should be used in a fair and unbiased manner.
5. Accountability: There should be clear accountability for the development, use, and impacts of AI in schools.
6. Privacy, Security and Safety: Student data privacy and security must be a top priority.

Gradeo is built with these principles in mind. We empower teachers with AI-generated feedback that saves time and allows for deeper student engagement.
