Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence and New Technologies in Education 5.0

Abstract

AI-powered tools such as text-generating algorithms, automatic essay graders, and plagiarism detection software are some of the tools that may be used by the students for improving their skills. For Primary and Secondary Education students, Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools offer a variety of ideas, essay outlines and answers to questions. Generally, students can use AI tools appropriately to improve their learning experience. However, AI tools can be used by students for cheating on assignments and/or exams. It is crucial for a professor or a school generally, to educate students on the ethical use of AI-powered tools and emphasize the importance of academic integrity to prevent cheating. The purpose of this paper is to examine and propose some AI-powered tools that could be used by professors for enhancing students' interaction and engagement. Moreover, the ethical issues for using AI and New Technologies in Primary and Secondary Education will be described using the examples of the proposed AI-tools. Finally, some recommendations and scenarios for responsible use of AI will be suggested in order to be used by policy makers and schools. The findings will be practical and significant, as not enough attention has been paid in Ethical use of AI in Primary and Secondary education.
