ED-AI Network: The Ethics of AI in learning

Ethics of AI in learning: panel discussion

The use of AI in learning has many ethical challenges, in terms of its impact on academic integrity, technology dependency and agency, equity of access and privacy, as well as societal impacts such as on employment and the environment.  Of course, it can also be potentially highly beneficial if it enhances learning, for example in increasing accessibility and adaptability.

This debate will offer attendees to participate in a deeper reflection on our stance on the ethics of AI in learning.

After a short introduction, the guest speakers will give their views on:

• Which are the most critical ethical aspects of AI in learning?
• What are the counterbalancing ethical benefits?
• What is responsible AI in learning?
