Artificial Intelligence #IBGC2023: AI and the IB

Academic integrity is everyone’s responsibility. It must be part of the teaching and learning process and an aspiration of the entire school community.

February 27, 2023 "The IB believes that this AI technology will become part of our everyday lives—like spell checkers, translation software and calculators. We therefore need to adapt and transform our educational programmes and assessment practices so that students can use these new AI tools ethically and effectively. The IB is not going to ban the use of such software but will work with schools to help them support their students on how to use these tools ethically in line with our principles of academic integrity" (Glanville).

"Those of us who work in the schools or exam sector should not be terrified by ChatGPT and the rise of AI software – we should be excited. We should embrace it as an extraordinary opportunity" (Glanville).

IB programmes are designed to ensure inclusivity and equitability—allowing all IB learners to have equal opportunities to learning pathways, learning experiences and educational recognition. The IB applies these principles for programmes and subjects.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) believes in an inclusive approach to education that is designed to remove or reduce barriers so that every student can fully participate in, and develop through, IB programmes.

This Access and inclusion policy aims to establish standards and best practices in access and inclusion in IB World Schools so that all students can fully participate in their IB education. All schools are expected to draw upon the principles and practice of provision of access arrangements from this policy to formulate their internal school inclusion policy and practice for learning, teaching and assessment.
