Published: 13 May 2024 Publication History

Abstract

AI is increasingly being implemented into educational institutions, promising greater and more effective outcomes for learning and personalized experiences. However, the fast deployment of AI in the education field raises worries about its unethical applications. This paper aims to critically analyse the ethical implications of AI in education, with a particular emphasis on the unethical use of AI technologies. Based on previously published research papers, this study also explores the potential adverse effects of AI in education, such as violations of privacy, algorithmic bias, transparency issues, and less human contact. Furthermore, it analyzes educational institutions', policymakers', and technology developers' ethical duties in assuring the ethical and responsible deployment of AI in education sector. This study also looks into the present context and suggests ethical frameworks to assist stakeholders and practitioners navigate the ethical issues and concerns that are related to the use of AI in education while promoting an educational environment that puts the needs of students, justice, and human centricity first. This study analyzes the existing literature on the Incidents of unethical usage of AI in education sector and based on it, propositions were developed. The propositions developed in this study serve as a foundation for further research, discussions, and decision-making related to the ethical implications of AI in the education sector.
