Artificial Intelligence and the Welsh Language
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the landscape of higher education. It is influencing the way students learn, how staff design teaching and assessment, and how institutions support academic development and digital skills. While AI presents significant opportunities, it also raises important questions around academic integrity, digital literacy, equity and inclusion. This report explores the use of Artificial Intelligence within the context of Welsh-medium higher education, with particular attention to the opportunities and challenges facing Welsh speakers and speakers of minority languages. The report brings together current research, practical tests and feedback from staff and students to provide an overview of AI and its implications for Welsh-medium education. The report also highlights examples of good practice and identifies ways in which institutions can support the responsible and equitable use of AI. The report includes practical guidance and resources, recommendations on selecting appropriate tools, writing effective prompts, checking the reliability and accuracy of AI-generated content, and considering issues such as privacy, bias and transparency. We hope that the report will spark discussion, experimentation and collaboration across the sector to ensure that Welsh speakers can take fair advantage of DA developments, supporting a bilingual, inclusive and responsible approach to the use of these technologies in higher education.
