UNESCO Unveils AI Roadmap For Classrooms
According to the UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), which hosted more than 40 ministers at a groundbreaking online meeting on Thursday, less than 10% of schools and universities follow formal guidance on using wildly popular artificial intelligence (AI) tools, such as the chatbot software ChatGPT.
The ministers discussed the agency’s new roadmap on education and generative AI, which can generate data and content based on existing algorithms but may also make alarming factual errors, just like humans.
According to a new UNESCO survey of more than 450 schools and universities, institutions are encountering numerous obstacles in developing an instant reaction to the sudden advent of these powerful AI programmes.
At the same time, governments worldwide are in the process of shaping appropriate policy responses in a rapidly evolving education landscape, while further developing or refining national strategies on AI, data protection, and other regulatory frameworks, according to UNESCO.
