AI can level up' opportunities for dyslexic children, says UK tech secretary
Briefly

UK science and technology secretary Peter Kyle advocates for AI to enhance education for dyslexic children, emphasizing the current lack of human capacity to provide adequate support. As a dyslexic himself, he showcases how AI, such as GPTs, has personally benefitted him, arguing for careful exploration of AI implementation in education. The campaign led by Jamie Oliver further pressures for improved teacher training and early screening for dyslexia. With around 6 million in the UK facing this condition, Kyle highlights the significant performance gap in standardized testing between dyslexic students and their peers without special education needs.
"AI gets to know you. AI gets to know how you ask questions and how you think. It fits in around your own individual learning characteristics."
"I have already seen how GPTs and other services have helped me. AI is an incredible tutor, so there is no question that AI deployed wisely can have an incredible levelling-up opportunity."
