Co-designing a Risk-Assessment Dashboard for AI Ethics Literacy in EdTech (AI Ethics Literacy)

This project responds to the rapid integration of AI-based technologies into education (AI EdTech). While the potential for improved learning outcomes is important, the emergence of AI in education also brings ethical and legal challenges, ranging from bias issues to threats to privacy. Decision-makers in the education sector currently grapple with these challenges, hindered by the absence of best practice guidance and specific legislation. To bridge this gap and support AI ethics literacy, the primary focus of this project is to develop practical guidance for decision-makers. This guidance aims to facilitate systematic and holistic management of ethical risks associated with the application of AI EdTech. The project employs interdisciplinary research questions, utilizing iterative and agile design-based methods. Collaboration with current decision-makers is a key element, allowing for the evaluation of outcomes through both qualitative and quantitative approaches. By addressing the challenges of AI EdTech ethically, the project hopes to empower decision-makers with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the complexity of AI in education.
