Education

The Council of Europe’s preparatory study on the development of a legal instrument on regulating artificialn intelligence (AI) systems in education addresses the growing intersection of AI technologies and educational practices. As AI tools become increasingly prevalent in classrooms, this study examines their potential impact on children’s and learners’ rights, educational integrity and the broader values of human rights, democracy and the rule of law. Focusing on the unique requirements of children and educational institutions, the study provides an in-depth analysis of the current challenges and opportunities presented by AI in educational settings, highlighting the urgent need for a robust regulatory framework. It emphasises the importance of developing tailored regulations that enhance transparency and accountability in education while safeguarding the learners’ interests.
