The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training, chaired by Lisa Chesters, tabled its report “Study Buddy or Influencer” on 10 September 2024. It asks the government to make generative AI in education a national priority, add AI literacy to the curriculum, regulate EdTech firms by risk, treat emotion-detection AI in schools as unacceptable and bar storing student data offshore.

Why it matters

Australian education ministers and EdTech suppliers received a parliamentary plan for student data limits and risk rules on top of the national schools framework.
