IOE Director Professor Li Wei responds to the International Day of Education

AI holds much promise for education and society, however there are many reasons to approach AI judiciously. Above all, we must attend to the ethical and social justice dilemmas in education that AI threatens to reinforce, from inequalities in access, to biases, through to exploitation of others’ intellectual property.

These are threats and opportunities that many of my colleagues at IOE are addressing, across teacher education, assessment and edtech applications.
