# Vienna Unveils New AI Guidelines for Schools

November 6, 2026 at 04:46 PM

> Education Minister Christoph Wiederkehr introduces a three-step strategy to integrate AI tools while keeping teachers in control.

**Education Minister** **Christoph Wiederkehr** of the **Neos** party presented a new guidance plan for **artificial intelligence** in **schools** this Friday. The strategy outlines how teachers can integrate AI tools into classrooms while maintaining full professional autonomy.

The guidelines follow a three-step pedagogical principle: learning without AI first, then learning about AI, and finally learning with AI. While AI can assist with drafts and administrative tasks, core skills like reading and writing remain indispensable.

Wiederkehr emphasized that AI will not replace educators or the human element of schooling. Crucially, the responsibility for grading students remains strictly with humans, ensuring that AI functions as a supportive tool rather than a final authority.
