BRITAIN’S largest education union vowed today to explore industrial action to prevent the rollout of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in classrooms from replacing teacher expertise.

The National Education Union (NEU) annual conference heard that Labour’s push to ramp up the use of AI in education is being driven by tech giants.

Delegates backed a motion calling for urgent negotiations with central government to “agree the protocols guiding the introduction of new digital tools to ensure they align with the demand for a fully funded education system that champions creativity and professional autonomy for teachers.
