Why?

The “Age of AI” has dawned and is off and running! 

Within the education sector the advent of large language models and cognitive robots such as ChatGPT has sparked the interest of teachers, students and administrators. The rapid integration of AI tools more broadly within enterprise IT systems offers the prospect of tremendous benefits but also introduces new risks and challenges. 

It is said that AI will be the most significant disruption to occur in a century. Industry research predicts that with the integration of AI functions 25% of activities in education instruction and over 35% of administrative processes will be in some way automated.
