17132 (2026). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Minister of Education: What instructions, if any, have been given to Ministry of Education officials about the use of Artificial Intelligence to write curriculum and when was that advice provided to them?

Hon Erica Stanford: Ministry of Education officials have not received any instructions to use Artificial intelligence (AI) to write curriculum. However, I am advised that the Ministry has provided all staff with internal guidance in relation to the use of AI and generative AI. This guidance is publicly available and can be found on the Ministry’s website here: https://web-assets.education.govt.nz/s3fs-public/2025-06/1347660%20Appendix%20A.pdf?VersionId=nox1KXXdcbEeM_gsxv9.rhnnKfM8YTTv This is also my response to written parliamentary question 17133 (2026).
