The Learnovate Centre, a global innovation hub focused on the future of work and learning at Trinity College Dublin, is spearheading a community of practice on responsible AI in learning, bringing together educators, policymakers, institutional leaders and sector specialists to discuss safe, effective and compliant uses of AI in educational settings.

This initiative aims to help practitioners interpret emerging policy frameworks, including EU AI Act requirements, share practical insights and align AI implementation with ethical and pedagogical principles.

One of the community’s early activities includes virtual meetings designed to build consensus around AI norms in teaching, compliance strategies and knowledge exchange on real-world implementation.

Participants come from diverse education domains, including schools, higher and vocational education and training, as well as representatives from government and unions, reflecting a broader push to coordinate AI adoption across the sector.

Learnovate plays a wider role in AI and education innovation, supporting research, summits and collaborative programmes that explore AI-powered tools for personalised learning, upskilling and ethical use cases.

It also partners with start-ups and projects (such as AI platforms for teachers and learners) to advance practical solutions that balance innovation with safeguards.
