Ban AI tools to write and mark school assignments

Closed 56 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the government to introduce legislation that prevents the use of AI in schools to mark and write assessments.
As students are often not allowed to use AI tools to write their assignments (given that it is not their own work), we think that teachers should be disallowed from using AI tools to mark work.

We think it is teachers' responsibility to read through work to gain a judgement of students’ competence.
