The guidelines are for teachers, school officials, parents, and schoolchildren, to assist in the proper and ethical use of AI, said the ministry.

The 41-page document gives a definition of AI and how it works, and mentions AI tools such as chatbots.

It says that the use of AI should help to improve the quality of education, and remain in line with national educational regulations.

The guidelines also call for a balanced integration of AI tools into the learning process, since these tools provide both new opportunities and potential risks.

"The use of AI in education must be constantly monitored and evaluated for its impact, taking into account the pace of development of technology and especially of AI systems and tools," said the document.

Meanwhile, it notes that AI should serve as support without replacing the responsibilities of schoolchildren, teachers or administrators in decision-making.
