Schools warned off AI-generated student reports and newsletters

Victorian state school teachers and principals have been warned off using artificial intelligence software to write student reports and school newsletters under strict new rules from the state government.

All school materials, resources and communications produced using the tech are expected, under the new policy, to be clearly labelled. An Education Department spokesperson said there are strict guidelines in place to protect privacy and data and provide advice to schools to ensure academic integrity. The PhD candidate and consultant, who is researching the impact of generative AI in education and writing, added that the wording the department used in the policy was interesting because it said teachers couldn’t “directly” use an AI to communicate with parents, students, make judgments about student progress or write reports.

“There’s still a majority of educators who haven’t really had much experience ... given how quickly the technology adapted,” he said.
