‘Teachers who use AI “will replace those who don’t,”’ warned Malcolm Byrne, the Fianna Fáil TD who chairs the Oireachtas committee on artificial intelligence. Speaking about the rapid emergence of generative tools in schools, Byrne said Ireland risks lagging behind if it does not have a clear, responsible framework for integrating artificial intelligence into the formal education system.

Byrne’s warning reflects growing anxiety among educators that AI‑savvy teachers will gain a decisive advantage in delivering personalised learning, assessing work and preparing students for a technology‑driven workplace. He argued that schools must move quickly to develop guidelines, training and safeguards so that AI enhances teaching rather than creating a divide between early adopters and those who remain cautious.

The committee’s message is a call to policymakers, the Department of Education and teachers’ unions to start a national conversation on curriculum updates, data‑privacy protections and the ethical use of AI in classrooms. If addressed promptly, Byrne believes Ireland can harness the benefits of AI while avoiding a future where teachers who ignore the technology are left behind.

‘AI’ Probably Isn’t Making People Stupid

God, so many clickbaity titles I could give this thing.

First up! I’m going to talk about a bunch of things like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Deepspeak, Claude and Gemini, under a generic term of generative media tools. I do this because I specifically don’t like referring to them as ‘AI,’ which constructs a seriousness and importance on these tools that they do not have nor deserve. It also centers these tools on what they are and what they do: They are tools for generating text based on input given to them.

Second, I’m going to quote one of these generative tools in this article, so, you know, Copilot Jumpscare.

Finally, I know this is going to sound silly, but I made sure this article was 1,000 words, minimum, not counting the generative text quote I put in it. It’s been my target number these past few years to make sure my blog posts hit that target, and given how these text generators are so verbose, it’d be pretty easy to rely on quotes from them to fill that count out.
