Assessments: Artificial Intelligence
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential for UK-wide collaboration on the regulation and use of artificial intelligence tools in educational assessment.
Answered by Department for Education
The government recognises the importance of collaboration on the safe and effective use of artificial intelligence (AI) in education. In January 2026, the UK hosted an international ministerial summit on generative AI in education, bringing together education leaders from across the globe to build the global consensus on safe, effective and human-centred AI for education.
As education is a devolved matter, there are no plans to formalise UK-wide regulation for AI in education, however, the department holds regular meetings with the devolved administrations to share effective practice and policy developments, and to ensure alignment.
