Policies and protocols for the use of AI in secondary educational and activity training field 📃 🎉 We can proudly say that the AI@Mediators project has already completed one of its most costly tasks. The development of a guide compiling international protocols on the use of Artificial Intelligence with young people. Specifically, we have focused on the use of AI to prevent, act and resolve cases of cyberbullying with secondary school students. This guide has a compilation of these policies and protocols divided by ethical principles: Prevention of Harm Principle 💢 Well-being Principle 😄 Respect for human autonomy 💭 Non-discrimination ♿ Transparency 🧐 Proactive accountability ☝ Fairness 🤝 Explainability 🤔 Active participation 🙋♀️ Privacy ❌ Care for the environment 🌳 We will shortly be uploading it to our website.

Spotlight Series #3: #DrWeipengYang – Balancing AI Benefits and Ethics in Early Childhood Education In our ongoing spotlight series on pioneering figures in the field of AI in education, we turn our attention to Dr Weipeng Yang from the Education University of Hong Kong. In our previous post, we featured the innovative work of #DrPhilipHuiLi, who has been at the forefront of integrating AI in early childhood education. Building on Dr Li’s ground breaking contributions, Dr Yang explores the dual nature of AI in education, recognising both its potential benefits and the ethical concerns it raises. Dr Weipeng Yang’s research is particularly notable for its comprehensive approach to evaluating AI's role in early childhood education. He has been developing robust frameworks designed to assess and mitigate the impact of AI technologies on young learners. Recognising the profound influence that AI can have on educational settings, Dr Yang's work addresses both the promising advancements and the critical ethical dilemmas posed by these technologies. His exploration into the benefits of AI encompasses personalised learning paths, improved accessibility, and enhanced educational resources. However, Dr Yang is equally committed to scrutinising the ethical implications, such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the potential for over-reliance on technology in formative years. Through his balanced perspective, Dr Yang contributes significantly to the discourse on AI in education, advocating for a mindful integration that prioritises both innovation and ethical responsibility. As we continue our series, his insights provide a crucial viewpoint on ensuring that AI’s integration into educational systems is both beneficial and conscientiously managed. #DrWeipengYang #AIinEducation #EarlyChildhoodEducation #EdTech #EducationalInnovation #AIandEthics #PersonalisedLearning #DataPrivacy #AlgorithmicBias #MindfulIntegration #EducationResearch #FutureOfEducation #ChildDevelopment #EducationFrameworks #EthicalAI #EdTechEthics #AIImpact #AIinSchools #EducationLeadership

As AI transforms education, ethical implementation is crucial to ensure fairness, privacy, and inclusivity. Here's how schools and universities can adopt AI responsibly: 1. Define clear objectives to align AI with educational goals. 2. Assemble a diverse ethics committee to evaluate decisions. 3. Protect student privacy with robust data governance. 4. Choose ethical AI vendors with transparent policies. 5. Promote AI literacy among students and educators. 6. Address biases in AI systems through regular audits. 7. Ensure transparency and accountability in AI usage. 8. Continuously monitor performance to align with institutional values. 9. Foster inclusivity by designing AI tools that support diverse learning needs. By prioritizing these steps, we can leverage AI’s potential while safeguarding equity and student success. #EthicalAI #AIinEducation #EdTechInnovation #AIforEquity #FutureOfEducation #ResponsibleTech #DigitalTransformation

A recent #OECD report highlights the impact of AI on equity and inclusion in education, emphasizing the need for ethical considerations to balance its benefits while preventing the deepening of existing inequalities.

The integration of AI in education holds immense potential for enhancing learning experiences, personalizing education, and improving accessibility. However, it is crucial to approach this technological advancement responsibly. Ethical considerations, data privacy, and unbiased algorithms must be at the forefront of AI implementation to ensure fair and equitable education for all students. Responsible AI use in education involves transparency, continuous monitoring, and the active participation of educators, students, and stakeholders. By prioritizing these principles, we can harness AI's power to create a positive impact while safeguarding the integrity of our educational systems. I've gained valuable insights on this topic from the Skill Our Future platform, which has been instrumental in deepening my understanding of the responsible use of AI in education. I've begun applying these principles in my work by ensuring that AI tools I use adhere to ethical standards and data privacy regulations. #SkillOurFuture #FutureofWork #SkillUpRiseUp #IYD2024 #AIinEducation

I recently attended an enlightening webinar on the ethical usage of AI, conducted by Dr. Allison Navas at International Baccalaureate. she led a very productive, interactive session alongside a team of educators from various parts of the world and provided us with a case study on " Ethical AI and school policies " some of the take aways were; -Ethical Responsibility, Prioritizing transparency, fairness, and accountability in AI development is crucial in our education system. -Innovation vs. Ethic, While AI fosters innovation, ethical standards must remain a priority. -Importance of Education, Understanding the societal impact of AI is vital for both educators and students. -Collaboration is Key, Engaging all stakeholders—including developers and policymakers—is essential for promoting ethical practices in AI in our schools. Thank you so much Dr. Allison Navas, for the very educative and inspiring session. keep up the good work! I look forward to attending more of the International Baccalaureate webinar series. #EthicalAI #Education #Collaboration #Innovation

AI in GCC Schools: Important Ethical Issues to Think About AI technology is starting to play a big role in GCC schools, but we need to be careful about ethical concerns. While AI has the power to change education for the better, it’s important that we use it in a fair and responsible way. Data Privacy: AI systems gather a lot of student data, like learning progress and personal information. Protecting this data is very important. Schools in the GCC need to be clear about how they use data and take strong steps to keep it safe. Human vs. Machine: AI can help teachers with many tasks, but it should not replace the human side of teaching. Teachers’ judgment and understanding are still key parts of education. We need to find the right balance between using AI tools and keeping the personal touch in the classroom. What ethical challenges do you see as schools start using AI? How are you handling these issues in your own school? #EthicalAI #Education #AIinSchools #EdTech #StudentData #TeachingwithAI

The integration of AI in education presents exciting opportunities to enhance learning outcomes, but it also brings forth significant considerations. Key concerns include data privacy, inequality, potential job disruption, and the spread of misinformation. Collaboration between human expertise and AI capabilities is crucial, along with robust governance, ethical data use, adequate funding, and comprehensive training. Prioritizing equity and inclusion is essential to ensure that the benefits of AI in education reach everyone. This concerted effort aims to fully leverage AI's transformative potential in shaping the future of education. #AIinEducation #LearningOutcomes OpenAI #Inequality #JobDisruption #Misinformation #Collaboration #Governance #EthicalDataUse #Funding #Training #Equity #Inclusion #FutureofEducation
