Abstract

This chapter discusses developing a comprehensive policy framework for integrating digital ethics in education, focusing on the ethical deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As digital technologies and AI become pervasive in educational settings, the chapter highlights the need for robust ethical guidelines that align with societal values and promote authentic educational practices. It explores the dual nature of AI in education, its potential to personalize learning and its challenges. It delves into key ethical concerns such as data privacy, fairness, and transparency. It advocates for a collective effort among all stakeholders to develop ethical AI systems that enhance learning experiences while mitigating potential harm. Key recommendations include adopting a policy framework emphasizing fairness, inclusivity, and transparency in AI deployment. The chapter calls for the educational community to actively shape a future where digital technologies and AI are harnessed responsibly to support educational equity and effectiveness.
