AI with Heart. What happens when Australian schools co-create AI?
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: What happens when Australian schools co-create AI with heart? This session showcases the national rollout of cechat, a generative AI platform custom-built for Catholic education. More than a chatbot, cechat is a space where intelligent agents are designed by teachers to reduce workload, enhance learning, and reflect faith-informed values. With almost 12,000 teachers and 30,000 students already using cechat, we have seen how young people test and stretch the technology. Flagged conversations reveal both risks and opportunities, highlighting why inclusive AI must be designed from the margins in. Attendees will learn how educators shaped, refined, and safeguarded cechat to meet real school needs.
