No 52, OECD Artificial Intelligence Papers from OECD Publishing

Abstract: This OECD-Fondazione Agnelli paper examines how artificial intelligence (AI) can be deliberately deployed to tackle persistent disparities in primary and secondary schools and to align curricula with changing skill demands. It focuses on three priorities for Italy’s school system: preventing dropout and promoting learning, reducing the maths gender gap, supporting students with an immigrant background. Drawing on international evidence, the paper reviews how AI can support these objectives, the risks that may arise, and possible mitigation strategies. It also considers how countries are integrating AI literacy and reforming curricula in response to shifting skill needs. The paper proposes key principles and a policy roadmap to guide AI adoption in schools. Recent initiatives in OECD countries illustrate opportunities and risks associated with AI adoption in schools and potential policy options for Italy.
