The UKRI-funded project Smart Assessment and Guided Education with Responsible AI (SAGE-RAI) organised a webinar on April 24th. The webinar offered participants the chance to participate in discussions on how AI can be responsibly used in education, addressing challenges of misinformation, copyright, and bias. Participants also had the opportunity to compare the experience of using a general foundation model with a task-specific AI assistant tutor, highlighting the challenges and benefits of each approach. 

The webinar was facilitated by SAGE-RAI project partners from KMi (Alexander Mikroyannidis, Aisling Third, Joseph Kwarteng) and the Open Data Institute (David Tarrant). The webinar featured hands-on activities and focus groups to allow participants to provide their feedback about the AI tutors and express their views about the future of AI in education. The presentation slides from this webinar are available to download from this link. 

Participant feedback and insights from this webinar will be thematically analysed and will be incorporated into the outcomes of the SAGE-RAI evaluation studies, as well as into the responsible AI framework developed by the project.
