In July 2021, the European Commission established the Expert Group on Artificial intelligence (AI) and data in education and training7 (hereafter “The Expert Group”). The 25 members of the group included researchers and academics in the field of AI, data and ethics in education, as well as representatives of UNICEF, UNESCO and OECD. The Expert Group’s mandate was to help the Commission to implement the DEAP Action 6, notably by means of a preparatory report to support the elaboration of Ethical Guidelines on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data in Teaching and Learning for Educators.
Designed as a working document, the Report outlines the conceptual work conducted by the Expert Group and provides a theoretical background to inform the development of the guidelines. It focusses on the ethics of education and training, as well as on the identification of key sector-specific elements of ethics of AI in education. It reflects the collaborative effort, deliberation, and writing by the experts.
