Yn yr un modd â’r rhan fwyaf o sefydliadau, rydym ni’n arbrofi ac yn archwilio beth mae deallusrwydd artiffisial (AI) yn ei olygu i ni fel arolygiaeth, ac i’r sectorau addysg a hyfforddiant.
Rydym wedi gwneud rhywfaint o gynnydd dros y 9 mis diwethaf a dyma rai o’r uchafbwyntiau:
Gan fod AI yn bwnc mor ddadleuol, sy’n esblygu drwy’r amser, rydym yn awyddus i gyhoeddi ein safbwynt ar ddeallusrwydd artiffisial.
Mae’r ddogfen atodedig yn datgan ein huchelgais, ein hegwyddorion arweiniol ac yn rhoi ein safiad ar ystyriaethau allweddol sy’n gysylltiedig ag AI a’i effaith ar ein gwaith.
Rydym am gyhoeddi hwn ar ein gwefan cyn diwedd y mis ac yn rhannu gyda chi o flaen llaw fel un o’n rhanddeiliaid allweddol. Mae croeso i chi gysylltu â ni os oes gennych unrhyw gwestiwn neu adborth drwy Cyfathrebu@estyn.llyw.cymru

Like most organisations we are experimenting and exploring what artificial intelligence means for us as an inspectorate, and for the education and training sectors.
We have made some progress over the past 9 months, with some key highlights being:
With AI being such a contentious, and ever evolving subject, we are keen to publish our view on artificial intelligence.
The attached document states our ambition, our guiding principles and gives our position on key considerations relating to AI and its impact on our work.
We will publish this on our website before the end of the month, and we are sharing this with you as one of our key stakeholders. You are more than welcome to ask us questions or provide feedback via Communications@estyn.gov.uk

The Welsh Government aims to raise the profile of youth work and its positive impact on young people and wider society as recommended by the Time to Deliver report.
In order to do that, we are asking the youth work sector and organisations working with young people in Wales to contribute positive case-studies that showcase how youth work in Wales is promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion, as well as proactively challenging discriminatory attitudes and behaviours in society.
If you would like the opportunity to showcase the fantastic work that you do, please populate the document attached and return to youthwork@gov.wales by Monday, 2nd of June 2025.

Nod Llywodraeth Cymru yw codi ymwybyddiaeth o waith ieuenctid a’i effaith gadarnhaol ar bobl ifanc a’r gymdeithas ehangach fel yr argymhellir gan adroddiad Mae’n Bryd Cyflawni.
Er mwyn gwneud hynny, rydym yn gofyn i’r sector gwaith ieuenctid a’r sefydliadau sy’n gweithio gyda phobl ifanc yng Nghymru gyfrannu astudiaethau achos cadarnhaol sy’n dangos sut mae gwaith ieuenctid yng Nghymru yn hyrwyddo cydraddoldeb, amrywiaeth a chynhwysiant, yn ogystal â herio’n rhagweithiol agweddau ac ymddygiadau gwahaniaethol mewn cymdeithas.
Os hoffech chi gael cyfle i arddangos eich gwaith gwych, llenwch y ddogfen atodedig a’i dychwelyd i gwaithieuenctid@llyw.cymru erbyn dydd Llun, 2il o Fehefin 2025.
