Question:
To ask the Minister of Education, pursuant to AQW 17051/22-27, to clarify whether he has considered the development of an artificial intelligence literacy strategy for schools.

Answer:

The Department has not considered developing an individual strategy around building pupil competence and knowledge of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As announced in my statement in response to the recommendations from the Independent Review of Education, I have commissioned an independent review of the curriculum and I intend to develop a new strategy on literacy and numeracy as a priority.
