Recommend Actions for Governments and other Stakeholders(Ⅱ)
AI for offering lifelong learning opportunities for all
Reaffirm that the guiding principle for achieving SDG 4 is lifelong learning, which encompasses formal, non-formal and informal learning. Adopt AI platforms and data-based learning analytics as key technologies in building integrated lifelong learning systems to enable personalized learning anytime, anywhere and potentially for anyone, with respect for learners agency. Exploit the potential of AI to enable flexible learning pathways and the accumulation, recognition, certification and transfer of individual learning outcomes.
Be mindful of the need to give appropriate policy attention to the needs of older people, especially older women, and to engage them in developing the values and skills needed for living with AI in order to break the barriers to digital life. Plan and implement well-funded programmes to equip older workers with skills and options that enable them to remain economically active for as long as they choose and to engage in their societies.
Promoting equitable and inclusive use of AI in education
Reaffirm that ensuring inclusion and equity in and through education,and offering lifelong learning opportunities to all, are the cornerstones of achieving SDG 4 – Education 2030. Reaffirm that technological breakthroughs in the field of AI in education are an opportunity to improve access to education for the most vulnerable groups.
Ensure that AI promotes high-quality education and learning opportunities for all, irrespective of gender, disability, social or economic status, ethnic or cultural background, or geographic location. The development and use of AI in education should not deepen the digital divide and must not display bias against any minority or vulnerable groups.
Ensure that AI tools in teaching and learning enable the effective inclusion of students with learning impairments or disabilities and those studying in a language other than their mother tongue.
Gender-equitable AI and AI for gender equality
Underline that the gender gap in digital skills contributes to the low share of women among AI professionals and exacerbates existing gender inequalities.
Affirm our commitment to developing AI applications in education that are free from gender bias and to ensuring that the data used for AI development are gender sensitive. AI applications should drive the promotion of gender equality.
Promote gender equality in the development of AI tools and empower girls and women with AI skills to promote gender equality among AI workforces and employers.
Ensuring ethical, transparent and auditable use of education data and algorithms
Be cognizant that AI applications can impose different kinds of bias that are inherent in the data the technology is trained on and uses as input, as well as in the way that the processes and algorithms are constructed and used. Be cognizant of the dilemmas of balancing between open access to data and data privacy protection. Be mindful of the legal issues and ethical risks related to data ownership, data privacy and data availability for public good. Be mindful of the importance of adopting principles of ethics-, privacy- and security-by-design.
Test and adopt emerging AI technologies and tools for ensuring teachers and learners data privacy protection and data security. Support robust and long-term study of deeper issues of ethics in AI, ensuring AI is used for good and preventing its harmful applications. Develop comprehensive data protection laws and regulatory frameworks to guarantee the ethical, non-discriminatory, equitable, transparent and auditable use and reuse of learners data.
Adjust existing regulatory frameworks or adopt new ones to ensure responsible development and use of AI tools for education and learning. Facilitate research on issues related to AI ethics, data privacy and security, and on concerns about AIs negative impact on human rights and gender equality.
Monitoring, evaluation and research
Be mindful of the lack of systematic studies on the impacts of AI applications in education. Support research, innovation and analysis on the effects of AI on learning practices and learning outcomes, and on the emergence and validation of new forms of learning. Take an interdisciplinary approach to research on AI in education. Encourage cross-national comparative research and collaboration.
Consider the development of monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to measure the impact of AI on education, teaching and learning, in order to provide a valid and robust evidence-based foundation for policy-making.
給政府和其他利益攸關方的行動建議(二)
人工智能服務于提供全民終身學習機會

促進教育人工智能應用的公平與包容
重申確保教育領域的包容與公平以及通過教育實現(xiàn)包容與公平,并為所有人提供終身學習機會,是實現(xiàn)可持續(xù)發(fā)展目標4—2030年教育的基石。重申教育人工智能方面的技術突破應被視為改善最弱勢群體受教育機會的一個契機。
確保人工智能促進全民優(yōu)質教育和學習機會,無論性別、殘疾狀況、社會和經(jīng)濟條件、民族或文化背景以及地理位置如何。教育人工智能的開發(fā)和使用不應加深數(shù)字鴻溝,也不能對任何少數(shù)群體或弱勢群體表現(xiàn)出偏見。
確保教學和學習中的人工智能工具能夠有效包容有學習障礙或殘疾的學生,以及使用非母語學習的學生。
性別公平的人工智能和應用人工智能促進性別平等
