As the artificial intelligence (AI) ethics field is currently working towards its operationalisation, ethics review as carried out by research ethics committees (RECs) constitutes a powerful, but so far underdeveloped, framework to make AI ethics effective in practice at the research level. This article contributes to the elaboration of research…

AI's opportunities and potential high-risk consequences for individuals and societies render mass AI literacy imperative. MOOCs are one effective conduit for its provision. However, MOOCs remain epistemologically one-sided when lifelong learning steadily shifts towards a reflexive epistemology whereby subjectivities and expert knowledge intersect,…

Following the widespread concern and debate provoked by the arrival of ChatGPT and similar artificial intelligence (AI) tools, the European University Association's Learning and Teaching Steering Committee shares key considerations for European universities. Noting the current shortcomings and potential benefits of these technologies, this…

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the theory and development of computer systems capable of performing tasks that normally require human intelligence. This revolutionary technology holds immense potential in multiple domains, including the development of educational curricula. This article has explored the impact of AI on curriculum…

The article provides an answer to the question: 'How can ChatGPT be used as an educational technology for learning?' by identifying its educational benefits and downsides for teaching and learning as seen from the educators' perspective. To answer this question a mixed methods case study was carried out in the context of two workshops involving a…

This paper presents a proposal of specific curriculum in Artificial Intelligence (AI) for high school students, which has been organized as a two-year subject. The curriculum was designed based on two premises. The first one is that, although the proposal is targeted to scientific programmes, the involved students and teachers do not have any…

This study offers a critical examination of university policies developed to address recent challenges presented by generative AI (GenAI) to higher education assessment. Drawing on Bacchi's 'What's the problem represented to be' (WPR) framework, we analysed the GenAI policies of 20 world-leading universities to explore what are considered problems…

The paper presents ideas and initiatives from two ongoing Erasmus+ projects funded by the European Commission. Both projects use e-Learning as an enabler for communicating interesting and important learning contents that are believed to increase and improve employability prospects for the targeted groups of learners. The WINnovators project…

Understanding how students interact with AI bots is a first step towards integrating them into instructional design. In this report, the results of a survey conducted in three European higher education institutions, and in the context of four different areas are presented. Among other things, they reveal for what purposes students use ChatGPT,…

This book provides a critical overview of the current use of learning technologies for educational innovation and examines global trends in educational innovation. It also shares experiences in educational innovation with learning technologies in Europe and Latin America. Despite increasing concerns about the use of technology in education, this…

Chatbots have experienced significant growth over the past decade, with a proliferation of new applications across various domains. Previous studies also demonstrate the trend of new technologies, especially artificial intelligence, being adopted in libraries. The purpose of this study is to determine the current research priorities and findings…

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a highly heterogeneous set of neurodevelopmental disorders with the global prevalence estimates of 2.20%, according to DSM5 criteria. With the advancements of technology and availability of huge amount of data, assistive tools for diagnosis of ASD are being developed using machine learning techniques. The present…

This article revisits the Mincer earnings function and presents comparable estimates of the average monetary returns associated with an additional year of education across different regions worldwide. In contrast to the traditional Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method commonly employed in the literature, this study applied a cutting-edge approach…

Research on Artificial Intelligence, especially in the field of machine learning, has exploded in the twenty-first century. AI research in universities has long been funded by a combination of government and corporate sources. The funding of AI research in the contemporary university includes technology companies as both funders and generators of…

This study provides an empirical approach to utilizing an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based system for identifying students' university choice factors that impact their matriculation decision. We created an AI-based chatbot that gathered both qualitative and quantitative data from nearly 1200 participants worldwide. The entire human-AI…
