UNESCO launches global consultations on education in the age of AI

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has announced a broad discussion on how artificial intelligence (AI) should change learning.

✨ What we know

UNESCO, the UN agency that works on education, science and culture, has announced global consultations on education in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). In other words, the question of how AI affects learning in schools, universities and beyond is being put up for international discussion.

The brief announcement we saw contains no details: it is not known who will take part, how people can get involved, or what the deadlines are. To learn more, it is worth going to the original source.

📌 Why it matters

Students and teachers already use AI, from checking homework to explaining complex topics. At the same time, questions arise about the integrity of learning, access to technology, and which skills children really need to be taught.

Consultations like these are usually needed so that decisions about education are made with input from teachers, parents, students and experts, not only from technology developers.
