The recent raise of conversational Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications such as ChatGPT are raising questions among educators and education leaders: 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?
AI tools can potentially enhance teaching, learning and assessment, but at the same time they must be handled with care, to avoid harmful consequences.
The webinar will focus 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. Specifically, the recent “Ethical guidelines on the use of artificial intelligence and data in teaching and learning for educators” by the European Commission will be presented and illustrated with practical examples.
At the end of the webinar, an open session will take place to collect ideas from the members of the EYF Community of Innovative Educators on new activities to be developed within the community.
The webinar will take place between 14 and 16 CEST

Totally agree Sandra, we need to empower teachers with the new skills needed to embrace this technology. I hope the webinar will help shading a light on how this can be done.
