Students, researchers and teachers, like most Europeans, use technological tools and digital media on a daily basis. It has now become almost impossible to avoid using mobile phones, tablets, laptops, console games and other technologies, whether for educational, professional or entertainment purposes.
Last November, the Council of Europe published a study entitled Artificial intelligence and education, a critical look through the prism of human rights, democracy and the rule of law.
With the advent of ChatGPT, we felt that something very important was happening and that our lives would never be the same again. Although it is generally pointed out that artificial intelligence (AI) brings both challenges and opportunities, over the past few weeks it seems that the balance is firmly on the side of concern. The call for a six-month pause in the development of AI tools by thousands of experts, and with Italy becoming the first Western country to block ChatGPT due to data protection concerns, signals a high level of responsibility for those working with AI. Moreover, as the Council of Europe report states, “AI ethics is necessary but not sufficient for AI in education”.
Join our next [email protected] of Europe on artificial intelligence and academic integrity, April 26 (12:30-1:50 p.m. CET) to hear diverse perspectives on ethical dilemmas regarding artificial intelligence and academic integrity. This event is aimed at students, researchers, educators and public authorities in the field of education.
Registration to participate will be available soon.
