New Handbook on Policy and Ethics in AI Education
We’re thrilled to announce the publication of the Handbook on Policy and Ethics in AI Education, a comprehensive guide designed to support VET and Adult educators, administrators, and policymakers in navigating the ethical challenges of AI integration in education. This handbook complements our previously released Evaluation Schema for AI in Education, providing deeper insights and actionable frameworks to ensure responsible AI adoption in classrooms and institutions.
Artificial Intelligence is transforming education, offering opportunities for streamlined administration, and innovative teaching methods. However, with these advancements come critical ethical considerations, privacy, bias, transparency, and equity, that must be addressed to harness AI’s potential responsibly.
