APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATION AND ETHICAL CONCERNS

Now a day's application of artificial intelligence is in every facet of our life and field of education is no more an exception. NEP 2020 has also emphasized the role of technology and specifically Artificial Intelligence in education (AIED). AIED is empowering our education system. AI is integrated in our education system in form of personalized learning, in administering tasks of an educational institutes and helping teachers in their teaching process. Though the motive of AIED is to support teachers' and students' teaching and learning experiences but such ethical intentions are not by themselves sufficient. These ethical concerns are very complex and it is not so easy to achieve them. There is need to explicitly consider ethical issues such as privacy, fairness, transparency, biases, autonomy etc. So the teachers and students using artificial intelligence tools must be fully aware of these ethical issues and should try to take full advantage of these tools. To achieve the potential benefit of artificial intelligence in education and minimizing its ethical drawbacks there is a need of well-structured framework and guidelines for implementing ethics of AIED.
