Webinars ‘Month of AI in Education’ available for rewatch

AI technology and data in education 

There is a lot of speculation about AI in education in the Netherlands. What is scientists’ opinion on this issue? Is national or international research being done? And what knowledge did that provide? NOLAI keeps track of this every year. 

AI technology and the sustainable handling of data is an important point of interest in the development of AI for education. In this NOLAI webinar from Tuesday 11 June, Kilian Geryszewski (teacher) and Job Doesburg (researcher) help you catch up! What’s the current state of affairs? 

Ethical concerns regarding AI in education 

AI keeps getting a bigger role in education. It is expected that smart technology can improve the quality of education by enabling tailored education, decreasing teachers’ workload, and improving access to learning materials. 

At the same time, AI in education comes with a lot of ethical concerns. For instance, the growing influence of big tech companies on education, decreased autonomy for teachers, and the loss of meaningful human contact.  

To deal with these concerns, organisations across the world have developed guidelines for using AI in schools, with recommendations for the responsible use of smart technology. These guidelines are being investigated withing NOLAI. During this seminar of 18 June, Kevin van der Pol (teacher) and Yuri Tax (researcher) talk about the results of this investigation.
