Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The concept of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming a common part of the educational system all over the world, and it provides new opportunities to enhance the process of learning in terms of access, quality, and efficiency. It has received a lot of attention concerning its potential contribution to Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) that seeks to establish inclusive and equitable quality education among all people. Nevertheless, there are also important ethical issues associated with the fast rates of AI implementation in education such as algorithms bias, the risk of data breaches, lack of transparency, and the digital divide. The paper takes a doctrinal research methodology based on secondary data to explore the ethical issues related to AI-related education and how they relate to the realization of SDG 4. It compares the global and Indian policy frameworks that govern ethical AI, and examines responsible ways of realising AI innovation to sustainability objectives. The paper states that ethical considerations, which include fairness, accountability, transparency, and inclusivity are invaluable in making sure that AI plays a significant role in the attainment of sustainable and equitable education.
