UNESCO recognizes the future of AI in education as a tool for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4, called “Inclusive and Equitable Quality Education,” but also warns about the possible risks of irresponsible use of AI in schools.
The explicability of AI is particularly relevant in education, a principle expressed by the European Commission, which involves presenting the sources used to users.
Despite the benefits that consist mainly of teaching students about an important tool for their professional future, AI applied in education also raises significant doubts: millions of students use it to write essary and reportsfor them, do automatic translations, and as an aid to pass exams without being properly prepared. Universities in Northern Europe are known to be returning to oral exams to avoid these diseducational effects. Chatbots that simulate the teaching function generate a potential unnatural and individual relationship between students and machines.
It is likely that AI will be taught mainly in vocational courses, which must adapt to its spread in the world of work.
