Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are being implemented at an unprecedented scale and pace, which raises important implications for education. In a recent paper, Stefania Giannini, UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Education, examines the potential opportunities and challenges presented by generative AI tools in the context of learning. The publication delves into the profound impact of digital revolutions and explores how generative AI technology can affect education. It highlights concerns regarding the rapid integration of generative AI into educational systems without adequate checks, rules, or regulations. Giannini emphasizes the importance of adopting a cautious approach and urges the education sector to take the lead in evaluating and validating AI applications for educational purposes. She advocates for the establishment of regulatory bodies and the implementation of safety checks, similar to those already in place for other technologies.
