The Council of Europe’s expert group on Artificial Intelligence and Education aims to explore the implications of AI and AI-based technologies and applications for education. In particular, we are exploring how learning with AI, learning about AI, and preparing for AI will contribute towards the Council of Europe’s core values on human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. As part of this work we have carried out a survey of the Member states:
- to identify promising policies and/or strategies focused on the connections between AI and education that safeguard the fundamental rights and freedoms of learners and complement existing work by other organisations;
- to identify promising practices in relation to (i) learning with AI, (ii) learning about AI, and (iii) preparing for AI
The results of the survey will be used to facilitate the Council of Europe to develop appropriate policy and legal instruments in order to ensure that the connection between AI and education is responsible, accountable, transparent and for the common good. In this presentation I will highlight aspects of the results that are relevant for higher education.
