While artificial intelligence (AI), as an academic discipline, has been with us since the 1950s, knowledge of AI’s impact on formal education and all its stakeholders is in its infancy. To plug this knowledge gap, the BERA Blog invites research-informed contributions on all aspects of AI and educational research in a brand new and ongoing BERA Blog series. From AI technology to the ethical implications of its use; from knowledge creation, representation to its assessment; from its application to pedagogy and the curriculum – we invite contributors to summarise new research, find new applications for existing scholarship and, above all, share research-informed opinions, experiences and advice. This promises to be an unmissable BERA Blog series. Please see our submission policy for details of how you can make a contribution.
