Deliberately Human

What schools, families and governments choose to do about AI in education

By Paul Penfold

"Should we allow AI?" is the wrong question. This book draws together eleven research papers on assessment, teachers, wellbeing, equity, governance and school leadership, and shows the choices open to schools, families and governments. It comes with interactive tools you can try.
