The webinar “Artificial Intelligence for Educators: Ethical Challenges, Practices and Guidelines” organized by the ETF Community of Innovative Educators on 12th of June, focused on the concept of Ethical AI, that is the development, deployment and use of AI that ensures compliance with ethical norms, principles and core values.
Hosted by the ETF’s Fabio Nascimbeni, the two-hour online event was attended by nearly 200 participants – a record for the network of 1,300 registered users who share and promote innovative educational methods and solutions. With translation available in Russian and Arabic, it was a truly international event.

The webinar opened the floor for reflection and discussion about how to deal with AI-related plagiarism? Should these tools be banned from schools? Is it possible to integrate them safely and effectively in teaching settings? How to build critical knowledge on AI systems among educators, to make sure that the management of educational data is secure, privacy-proof and used for the common good?
The panel’s experts agreed that used with consideration and care, AI was a tool that could immensely enhance the role of educators, freeing them up for uniquely human interactions with their students.
