English: I'd like to make a brief intervention to highlight the role technology can have in helping us to develop a robust workforce plan for the future. Only today, the news has been reported of one in three jobs in Wales being at risk from automation by the early 2030s, and that analysis shows that jobs with routine and repetitive tasks - many of which will be able to be replaced by algorithms and by artificial intelligence within the next 20 years. And Bill Gates has commented that we often overestimate the pace of change that we're likely to see over the next two years, but underestimate the pace of change we're likely to see over the next 10 years. Certainly, in the next decade or more, all aspects of society will be impacted by the potential of artificial intelligence, and education is certainly central to that. The amendment tabled by Plaid Cymru quotes figures from the NUT showing that 50,000 working days are lost by teachers due to stress-related illness and, in their view, it's getting worse with a third set to leave the profession in the next few years. But, actually, harnessing technology can help alleviate the strain on teachers and greatly assist them in their tasks in the classroom - routine tasks - freeing them up to do what they came into education to do - to teach, to nurture, to coach, to lead, and we really need to be, when we are discussing future plans for the education workforce, thinking about the centrality that technology can have to unleash the potential of teachers. I'll just mention just a couple of examples that are available using existing technology. One is something called Zzish, which is a virtual teaching assistant that helps teachers instantly see which of their students need help in real time, what they're struggling with through an assessment application, which allows, then, the teachers to track individual performance, the class as a whole, and see clear improvement over time. That's just one example of existing technologies, and, as I say, with the pace of development we're likely to see through artificial development over the next 10 years, that potential will become even greater. So, my plea to all Members and to the Government is to put technology at the heart of their thinking of how we can support the teaching sector so they don't feel overburdened by stressful, repetitive, dull tasks, and actually could be freed up to do what they came into the profession to do. Diolch.
Welsh: Hoffwn wneud ymyriad byr i dynnu sylw at y rôl a allai fod gan dechnoleg i'n helpu i ddatblygu cynllun gweithlu cadarn ar gyfer y dyfodol. Heddiw ddiwethaf, daeth y newyddion y bydd un o bob tair swydd yng Nghymru mewn perygl yn sgil awtomeiddio erbyn y 2030au cynnar, a dengys y dadansoddiad hwnnw fod swyddi gyda thasgau cyffredinol ac ailadroddus - bydd modd i algorithmau a deallusrwydd artiffisial gymryd lle llawer ohonynt o fewn yr 20 mlynedd nesaf. Ac mae Bill Gates wedi gwneud sylwadau ein bod yn aml yn gorbwysleisio cyflymder y newid rydym yn debygol o'i weld dros y ddwy flynedd nesaf, ond yn synied yn rhy isel ynghylch cyflymder y newid rydym yn debygol o'i weld dros y 10 mlynedd nesaf. Yn sicr, yn y degawd neu fwy nesaf, effeithir ar bob agwedd ar gymdeithas gan botensial deallusrwydd artiffisial, ac mae addysg yn sicr yn ganolog i hynny. Mae'r gwelliant a gyflwynwyd gan Blaid Cymru yn dyfynnu ffigurau gan Undeb Cenedlaethol yr Athrawon sy'n dangos bod 50,000 o ddyddiau gwaith yn cael eu colli gan athrawon oherwydd salwch sy'n gysylltiedig â straen ac yn eu barn hwy, mae'r sefyllfa'n gwaethygu gyda thraean yn ystyried gadael y proffesiwn yn ystod yr ychydig flynyddoedd nesaf. Ond mewn gwirionedd, gall harneisio technoleg helpu i leddfu'r straen ar athrawon a bod o gymorth mawr iddynt yn eu tasgau yn yr ystafell ddosbarth - tasgau cyffredinol - gan eu rhyddhau i wneud yr hyn y daethant i'r byd addysg i'w wneud - sef addysgu, meithrin, hyfforddi, arwain, ac mae gwir angen i ni fod yn meddwl, pan fyddwn yn trafod cynlluniau ar gyfer y gweithlu addysg yn y dyfodol, am y lle canolog sydd i dechnoleg ar gyfer rhyddhau potensial athrawon. Fe soniaf am ychydig o enghreifftiau sy'n defnyddio'r dechnoleg sydd ar gael ar hyn o bryd. Un yw rhywbeth o'r enw Zzish, sef cynorthwyydd addysgu rhithiol sy'n helpu athrawon ar amrantiad i weld pa rai o'u myfyrwyr sydd angen help mewn amser real, beth sy'n peri anhawster iddynt drwy gymhwysiad asesu, sy'n caniatáu wedyn i'r athrawon olrhain perfformiad unigolion, y dosbarth cyfan, a gweld gwelliant amlwg dros amser. Dyna un enghraifft yn unig o'r technolegau sydd ar gael ar hyn o bryd, ac fel rwy'n dweud, gyda chyflymder y datblygiadau rydym yn debygol o'u gweld drwy ddatblygiadau artiffisial dros y 10 mlynedd nesaf, bydd y potensial hyd yn oed yn fwy. Felly, fy apêl i'r holl Aelodau ac i'r Llywodraeth yw rhoi technoleg wrth wraidd eu syniadau ynglŷn â sut y gallwn gefnogi'r sector addysgu fel nad ydynt yn teimlo eu bod wedi eu gorlwytho gan dasgau diflas, ailadroddus, sy'n peri straen, a bod modd eu rhyddhau mewn gwirionedd i wneud yr hyn y daethant i'r proffesiwn i'w wneud. Diolch.
