AI and the Future of Learning: Expert Panel Report by
This report introduces three layers that can frame the meaning of AI for educators. First, AI can be seen as “computational intelligence” and capability can be brought to bear on educational challenges as an additional resource to an educator’s abilities and strengths. Second, AI brings specific, exciting new capabilities to computing, including sensing, recognizing patterns, representing knowledge, making and acting on plans, and supporting naturalistic interactions with people. These specific capabilities can be engineered into solutions to support learners with varied strengths and needs, such as allowing students to use handwriting, gestures, or speech as input in addition to more traditional keyboard and pointer input. Third, AI can be used as a toolkit to enable us to imagine, study, and discuss futures for learning that don’t exist today. Experts voiced the opinion that the most impactful uses of AI in education have not yet been invented. The report enumerates important strengths and weaknesses of AI, as well as the respective opportunities and barriers to applying AI to learning.

Artificial Intelligence and Education by
Artificial intelligence (Al) is increasingly having an impact on education, bringing opportunities as well as numerous challenges. These observations were noted by the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers in 2019 and led to the commissioning of this report, which sets out to examine the connections between Al and education (AI&ED). In particular, the report presents an overview of AI&ED seen through the lens of the Council of Europe values of human rights, democracy and the rule of law; and it provides a critical analysis of the academic evidence and the myths and hype.

Generative Artificial Intelligence for Education and Pedagogy by
Educators must take generative artificial intelligence (GAI) into account when considering the learning objectives for their classes, since these technologies will not only be present in the future workplace, but are already being used by students. While these tools have the opportunity to customize the learning experience for individual students and could potentially increase accessibility, they also hold risks. The most obvious risk is that GAI tools can be used to circumvent learning, but they may also hide biases, inaccuracies, and ethical problems, including violations of privacy and intellectual property. To address the risks of GAI while maximizing its benefit, we propose a flexible framework in which instructors can choose to prohibit, to allow with attribution, or to encourage GAI use. We discuss this framework, taking into consideration academic integrity, accessibility, and privacy concerns; provide examples of how this framework might be broadly relevant to different learning domains; and make recommendations for both faculty and administration.
