In a world rapidly transformed by technology, education remains at the heart of progress, and the Council of Europe is committed to fostering a nuanced and inclusive understanding of the multifaceted relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and education, guided by the principles of human rights, democracy, and inclusivity that define the Council of Europe's mission.

The Council of Europe believes that education should be accessible, inclusive, and equitable for all.
AI systems have the potential to play a transformative role in achieving these goals. Through personalized learning pathways, real-time feedback mechanisms, and innovative teaching methodologies, AI can cater to diverse learning needs and ensure that no one is left behind.

At the same time the Council of Europe recognises the importance of addressing questions related to data privacy, algorithmic transparency, and bias mitigation in the context of AI in education and aims to ensure that the adoption of AI systems aligns with human rights values and respects the dignity of every learner.
