At the heart of the IB philosophy is the belief that students should be active participants in their education. Each of the four IB programmes empowers students to take charge of their own learning and equips them with the skills they need to thrive in our ever-changing world. An IB education encourages students to be curious, think critically and challenge the status quo.

AI offers enhanced learning experiences

Rather than shying away from artificial intelligence (AI), the IB is excited by the opportunities that these tools bring to education to enhance learning experiences and provide additional support to our students. AI tools are designed in a way that they can be used to encourage students to think critically and creatively, by engaging students in thought-provoking discussions and challenging them to think beyond the usual perspectives.

AI in learning and teaching

Students will need to be taught to understand the bias inherent in the content that an AI tool produces and to critically review it-an important skill to learn in an IB education. Students should also be taught that AI-generated work included in a piece of assessment must be credited in the body of the text and appropriately referenced in the bibliography.

And not only do we think that these tools are beneficial for students, they also hold the potential to lighten the workload of our dedicated educators and schools. By leveraging these AI tools, educators can free up valuable time to spend more quality moments with their students.

How the IB is utilizing AI

At the IB, we will continue to rely on human examiners to mark the IB assessments. However, in addition to our existing checks, we are exploring utilizing AI as a quality control tool to detect inadvertent inaccuracies that could potentially be made by examiners during the marking process. In such cases, we would then seek an additional (human) investigation to ensure accuracy. Together, we can navigate the challenges and embrace this technology's exciting possibilities.

Support and resources

The IB Academic Integrity policy (PDF, 3.1 MB) has been updated to include a new appendix on the Guidance on the use of artificial intelligence tools (page 53). This section will help schools to support their students on how to use these tools ethically, in line with the IB's principles of academic integrity.

Sample Theory of knowledge (TOK) activities:

A list of common questions and concerns, as well as links to further reading and useful resources can be found here (PDF, 188 KB).

Dr Matthew Glanville, Director of Assessment at the IB, shares his views on the short-term impact that these tools will have on IB assessments and how they could change education as we know it in the long term in this blog article.

Dr Glanville also provided advice on referencing AI tools such as ChatGPT during a recent inquiry by the UK Parliament Science and Technology Committee on the governance of artificial intelligence. The presentation (in English) has been broken down into three short audio clips:

Technology Solutions That Drive Education

Another driver of AI reluctance may be a lack of familiarity with the technology. In Microsoft's AI in Education report, 68% of educators say they have used AI once or twice, while 22% use it daily. However, only 24% claim a strong familiarity with AI.

Most educators in this survey may be trying to develop a better understanding of how the emerging technology could be applied to their administrative and classroom tasks.

AI Benefits Productivity and Differentiated Learning

Between managing the classroom, grading assignments, planning lessons, communicating with parents and families, and meeting administrative requirements, teachers are stretched thin as they strive to meet all of their occupational demands. Generative AI is well suited to address these pressing teacher needs.

According to Carnegie Learning, teachers who use AI are finding multiple benefits from doing so:

42% found that using AI reduced the time spent on administrative tasks.

25% reported benefits in AI's ability to assist with personalized learning.

18% reported benefits related to improving student engagement.

17% noted AI benefits in enhancing student learning outcomes.

Notably, only 1% of respondents found no benefit to using AI in the classroom.

Looking at the particular tasks where AI has been applied, the majority of Carnegie Learning respondents (52%) are using the technology for brainstorming and idea generation. Others use it to create teaching materials, plan lessons or grade assignments.

Overall gains in productivity and personalized learning were reflected in both the CoSN and Microsoft reports. Among Microsoft's respondents, 24% used AI to update lesson plans, supporting materials and assignments.

Biggest Concerns Include Training on AI and Student Cheating

While educators have found valuable upsides to using AI, they are also concerned about the technology. When CoSN asked them about AI's biggest risks, 63% worried about new forms of cyberattacks, and 49% cited a lack of teacher training for integrating AI into instruction. Concerns about training and classroom integration were high among Microsoft respondents as well, with 50% seeing a lack of training and support as the biggest challenge.

The most widespread concerns by far among Microsoft and Carnegie Learning educators, however, were related to student cheating and plagiarism.

This worry is not lost on CoSN educators, with 20% of respondents saying that they worked in districts that use tools to detect AI-generated answers in student work. Clearly, this is a leading concern for educators that includes a thorny patch of ethical considerations with no easy answers.
