(ANS – Venice) – The school sector also recognises the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In the last year and a half, with the spread of generative AI in different areas, from work to everyday life, the debate on the use of this technology and possible developments has intensified more and more, also involving the education sector. Although it is an ever-changing technology, the potential benefits to support teachers and students are manifold. For this reason, for the new school year, the Salesian St Mark Province of North-East Italy (INE), supported by "MR Digital", an Italian integration and technological consulting company, has decided to adopt "Gemini AI", the innovative AI integrated into "Google Workspace for Education" throughout its network of schools.
