"It is well documented that Australian teachers face challenges incorporating
Indigenous perspectives and content in their classrooms. The approach can
sometimes be somewhat tokenistic, as if the teacher is “ticking a box”. We need
a more culturally responsive teaching workforce.

Generative AI is advancing at a fast pace and quickly finding a place within
education. Tools such as ChatGPT (or Chatty G as the kids say) continue to
dominate conversations in education as these technologies are explored and
developed.

There are many concerns around academic integrity and things to consider on how
to best introduce and control this technology in practice.

As teachers continue to look for ways to meet Indigenous content requirements,
it makes sense they would turn to generative AI to assist them in an area they
struggle with. But using these tools could do more harm than good."
