The AI4T project –Artificial Intelligence for and by teachers– is a three-year experimental endeavour which aims to
explore and support the use of AI in education. The AI4T measure consists in implementing innovative teacher
training methods specifically designed to meet the challenges of AI in education. Coordinated by France Education
International, it gathers Ministries of Education as well as public bodies, research centres, private universities and
consulting companies in France, Luxembourg, Italy, Ireland, and Slovenia.

The partnership will design a comprehensive training pathway. The project will rely on a bottom-up approach with teachers participating in the
design and assessment of the training. Peer-to-peer work will be encouraged between the participants. As a result,
the training pathway will be highly compatible with commonly used teaching practices. The hypothesis behind AI4T
is that a bespoke training can help teachers to deconstruct their preconceptions, develop their knowledge and
encourage an informed use of AI in an educational setting. The project specifically targets teachers in charge of 15 to
17-year-old students with expertise in foreign languages, maths or sciences, and to a lesser extent, principals, in a
management capacity.

An interdisciplinary team of researchers will analyse the data collected through quantitative
and qualitative methods to assess the impact of the whole experimentation. The measure will be first tested at a
small scale in each country, then implemented in over 350 schools divided between a control and a test group. At
the end of the project, it is expected that teachers become more confident and conscious users of AI-based
resources, that can help improving their practice. Furthermore, AI4T will contribute to the implementation of new
teaching methods in the classroom and a well-informed use AI as support for decision-making. A European network
will be created to share experiences and best practices.
