Topic

Ethical Challenges and responsible use of AI in Higher Education.

Abstract

As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, it is crucial to consider the ethical and social implications associated with its adoption. This talk will examine the benefits of using generative AI tools in the classroom, as well as the potential challenges and ethical considerations—including bias, fairness, transparency, privacy, security, employability, and the shaping of future societies. The use of AI in higher education raises significant ethical concerns that must be addressed. For example, biased algorithms pose a significant threat, particularly if employed in admissions or grading processes, as they could have devastating effects on students. It is important that higher education institutions collaborate to tackle these challenges, ensuring the responsible deployment of AI while maximizing its benefits. We will discuss examples of acceptable AI use, guiding principles, and policies to address ethical concerns effectively. By integrating ethics into every phase of AI development and responsible use allows higher education institutions to not only safeguard their students but also gain a competitive edge and establish new industry benchmarks for responsible AI innovation.
