AI continues to develop at a rapid speed, presenting both exciting opportunities and unique challenges within education. As part of our commitment to staying at the forefront of these developments, we wanted to share how we've been integrating AI into our work, ensuring its safe and effective use to support our team and members.
Over the past year, we have continued to find ways to implement AI tools into our work, without removing the personal approach we pride ourselves on. Last year we shared guidance on generative AI, and believe this is still a relevant and useful document. We continue to review and update it where relevant to reflect on recent changes.
Integrating AI into our Workflow
As a team we have started to integrate AI into our workflows, particularly around event preparation. We use ChatGPT to support the creation of scripts based on our team’s notes and discussions and eventually transform these into visually engaging slides and social media posts with tools like Canva Magic. By automating some of the more routine tasks, we can focus more on content quality and delivery.
While we continue to embrace AI, we are meticulous about safety. We never input personal information into AI tools, instead, a human staff member handles sensitive details manually, ensuring data is protected. Every AI-generated output continues to be reviewed by a team member to ensure it meets our values and standards. This ensures that AI supports, rather than replaces, the human touch in everything we produce.
CAVA’s 2024 annual conference
Looking ahead, we’re excited for AI to once again feature at CAVA’s annual conference. This year we are focusing on the future of teaching and assessment, with a clear understanding that AI will have an impact. We also have a specific workshop on using AI within education, where attendees will have the opportunity to explore AI and how they can use it.
