Cégep teachers, students call for formal AI guidelines, training from QC

Several groups representing cégep instructors and students are calling on the Government of Québec for official guidelines, best practices, and training on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the classroom. The confederation des syndicats nationaux, the Fédération nationale des enseignantes et des enseignants du Québec, and the Fédération étudiante collégiale du Québec have each expressed concerns regarding the lack of tools available to cégeps to meet the potential challenges and opportunities presented by AI. In response, QC Ministère de l’Enseignmenet supérieur has stated that two expert reports on AI are expected later this fall, which will enable the province to develop a more precise framework on the subject.
