Leading education in the age of AI: a matter of strategy

Times of Malta's publication of an article on leading education in the age of AI, highlighting the need for students and educators to learn to use AI's vast processing power as an asset rather than a crutch, marks a significant shift in the conversation around AI in education. This means that website owners, particularly those in the education sector, need to reassess their approach to AI-generated content and ensure that their platforms are not being used as a crutch by students. For instance, websites that provide educational resources or homework help may see an increase in AI-generated traffic, which could lead to a surge in llms.txt file updates as website owners try to keep up with the changing landscape of AI-generated content. To stay ahead of the curve, website owners can take a few key steps: firstly, they should monitor their website's traffic for signs of AI-generated content, and update their llms.txt files accordingly to reflect the changing patterns of AI bot traffic. Secondly, they should consider implementing measures to detect and prevent AI-generated content from being submitted on their platforms, such as using AI-detection tools or implementing strict content moderation policies. Finally, they should stay informed about the latest developments in AI and education, and be prepared to adapt their strategies as the landscape continues to evolve.
