🤖 1. IB’s Official Position on AI Use

The IB has publicly stated it will not ban AI tools like ChatGPT, citing innovation as a driving force of change. Their rationale: banning such tools is ineffective. Instead, AI tools must be used ethically and transparently, consistent with academic integrity policy (International Baccalaureate®, ManageBac+).

🏫 2. Integrating AI into Learning & Assessment

IB endorses generative AI as a learning enhancement, not a shortcut. Schools are expected to teach students how to critically evaluate AI-generated content, identify biases, and credit any AI use in written work (International Baccalaureate®, TODAY).

📘 3. Academic Integrity Policy Updates

The updated Academic Integrity policy now includes a dedicated appendix on AI use (page 53 onward). It clearly states: AI-generated content is not considered student’s own work unless properly cited, and mark schemes reward original thinking—not quotations (International Baccalaureate®).

✏️ 4. Teacher Roles & School-Level Adaptation

IB expects schools to revise policies to reflect generative AI. This includes:

  • Draft milestones and check-ins to authenticate student voice
  • Having teachers familiar with student progress who can detect AI influence
  • Reinforcing iterative and transparent creation processes in coursework (ManageBac+)

🛠 5. Exploring AI Support in Exam Moderation

While the IB continues to use human examiners, they are exploring AI as a secondary quality-control tool—to flag anomalies or inconsistencies before a human review is triggered (International Baccalaureate®).

📘 6. How IB’s Actions Translate to Student Practice

RevisionDojo reinforces IB-aligned AI use by:

  • Offering guides on ethical application, structure planning, and keeping your own voice central (revisiondojo.com)
  • Encouraging revision practices with Jojo AI that complement teacher feedback without substituting original work (revisiondojo.com)

🧭 7. Summary: IB’s Adaptive AI Strategy

Domain IB’s Approach Access to AI tools Allowed, not banned Academic policy Includes AI appendix in integrity documentation Teaching expectations Focus on critical evaluation, citation, transparency Assessment practice Human marking supported by AI-based quality checks School policy Encourages drafting protocols, teacher facilitation, training

💡 8. Why This Matters to You

  • The IB is actively embracing AI—it sees potential to deepen learning, not replace creativity.
  • Transparent use and citation of AI tools (e.g. Jojo AI, ChatGPT) reflect academic honesty.
  • Tools like RevisionDojo’s Jojo AI are designed to support—not write—student work, aligning with IB ethics (International Baccalaureate®, revisiondojo.com).
