Ethics of AI in Ed: Five Humans and ChatGPT Discuss

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Join an engaging dialogue with six experts – a computer scientist, two philosophers, an instructional technology expert, a social studies scholar, and ChatGPT – exploring the ethics of AI in education. Delve into the nuances of bias, privacy, automation, transparency, and accountability. The panelists' exchange unfolds in three acts: (a) delivering incisive presentations based on studies related to AI in education, including one by ChatGPT (b) using digital polling to visualize where the audience stands on AI’s educational usefulness or harmfulness, and (c) expanding the debate to encompass audience positions and questioning of panelists. This exploration of the ethics of AI in Education is meant to challenge, provoke, and find common ground. Your participation is warmly invited.
