Road to a better self – ethical guidance to AI in education

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article examines the ethical and practical implications of Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED), focusing on its impact on human values and relationships. While AI offers benefits such as personalized learning and improved academic outcomes, it also poses risks such as reduced critical thinking, over-reliance, and privacy concerns. The loss of creativity, embodied learning, and authentic human connection are highlighted as significant concerns. The role of the human teacher remains essential in fostering personal development and social-emotional learning. The FIRE initiative (Forum for the International Renewal of Education) aims to integrate ethics, well-being, and 21st-century skills into AI-based education. A central theme is the alignment of AI with core values such as empathy, resilience, and integrity. Ultimately, the article advocates for a human-centred approach where AI supports, rather than replaces human growth through community and relationships.
