More must be done to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning into UK classrooms to prevent a skills gap, according to Miles Berry, principal architect of the national curriculum for computing. Berry said that while AI is already being used in some schools as part of teaching lessons, it was not yet integrated with other subjects such as maths or science. Former teacher Tom Ravenscroft, founder and chief executive of Enabling Enterprise, which aims to bring the world of work into the classroom, has a very different perspective on the nature of the UK’s skills gap to that held by Mr Lane. However, Professor Rose Luckin of University College London’s Institute of Education warned most schools "aren’t even at first base" when it comes to equipping children "for a world where AI will be enormously influential".
