About the workshop

In this workshop, we will discuss the ethical considerations when introducing AI tools in higher education and how to mitigate potential harms. In particular, we will use state-of-the-art AI tools as prompts to unpack the potential benefits and harms when used in the context of higher education. If you have any suggestions and preferences of tools you would like to focus on you may contact the workshop leader the latest 2 weeks before the workshop and we will try to add that tool.

Outline of the workshop:

  • Introduction to AIED: Different Tools for different purposes
  • Ethical guidelines out there
  • Alternative approaches to AI ethics
  • AI tools and assessment

The workshop will be delivered through a combination of presentations, group discussions, and case studies. The emphasis will be on encouraging participants to share their experiences and perspectives and to actively engage in critical thinking and reflection on the ethical considerations of AI in higher education.

Workshop leader is Alexandra Farazouli, PhD student at the Department of Education
