EdTech: Co-designing a Risk-Assessment Dashboard for AI Ethics Literacy
With the advent of artificial intelligence within educational technologies (AI EdTech), initial case studies reveal significant ethical and legal risks ranging from bias to privacy threats. Decision-makers struggle to manage these risks systematically and holistically, given the lack of best practice guidance and specific legislation. At the Public Policy, Governance, and Innovative Technology Professorship, we address the normative and legal questions that bring child rights, ethical concerns, and potential risks into the equation and foresee challenges to AI EdTech to develop a navigational tool for decision-makers.
The present work seeks to outline key topics in the scholarly debate on child rights and discuss these against the backdrop of EdTech and AI Ethics Principles. This project’s principal focus is to develop practical guidance for decision-makers to help them navigate through the process of ethical decision-making in applying AI EdTech. Through the development of the said project, we seek to:
(1) a tailored risk management framework for assessing risks in AI EdTech,
(2) an AI EdTech Dashboard for qualified engagement with AI EdTEch education scenarios (“vignettes”), functionalities, and ethical/legal risks, and
(3) a design guide for AI ethics literacy.
