Perspectives on Ethics of AI in Education

Thursday 16/05 14:00-15:30h

Workshop Space A

Needs Analysis

The content of this workshop will highlight the ethical dilemmas or conflicts that can arise from ensuring ethical AIED in the form of a role-playing game. Every stakeholder will have their own requirements and responsibilities, which might not be easy to resolve. It is important for TEL PhD candidates to experience such ethical dilemmas from the perspectives of different stakeholders.

Learning Objectives

The main learning objective is for participants to be able to understand the multiple perspectives that different stakeholders bring to AIED ethics.

Pre-activities

There are no pre-requisites for participants to attend this workshop.

Session Description

This session will discuss the ethical issues raised by the increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED). The first author will first explain the main concepts of AIED ethics based on her current research. Next, the co-authors will elaborate on the utilization of sensors and immersive technologies (e.g., VR and AR) in the training of psychomotor skills, delving into potential ethical considerations. The planned example cases include human-robot interaction and dance. Following this, there will be a role-playing game where the participants put themselves in the shoes of different stakeholders (e.g. student, teacher, developer, …) and have a collaborative discussion about the ethical aspects of the research topics of some of the co-organizers. These questions will highlight the ethical dilemmas or conflicts that can arise from ensuring ethical AIED, as every stakeholder will have their own requirements and responsibilities.
