Ms Lisa Chesters MP, Committee Chair, said, "The Committee is convening a panel of AI experts to open our public hearing program. This panel brings together expertise in education, curriculum innovation and digital technology, the responsible and ethical use of AI, and policy and regulation."
"The use of generative AI has increased rapidly in the past year including by students and teachers," Ms Chesters said.
"Submissions to the inquiry have identified issues that we want to explore further, including the risks AI poses to academic integrity, and the potential it offers to personalise learning and address educational disadvantage," Ms Chesters said. "The Committee will hold further public hearings over the coming months to examine these and other issues in depth, with representatives from government agencies, educational institutions, peak bodies, academics, and others."
