Ai Ethics and Higher Education: Good Practice and Guidance for Educators, Learners, and Institutions

Artificial intelligence (AI) is exerting unprecedented pressure on the global higher educational landscape in transforming recruitment processes, subverting traditional pedagogy, and creating new research and institutional opportunities. These technologies require contextual and global ethical analysis so that they may be developed and deployed in higher education in just and responsible ways. To-date, these efforts have been largely focused on small parts of the educational environments leaving most of the world out of an essential contribution. This volume acts as a corrective to this and contributes to the building of competencies in ethics education and to broader, global debates about how AI will transform various facets of our lives, not the least of which is higher education.

Among some key aspects:
1) AI and Pedagogy: Subverting traditional structures
2) AI and Interdisciplinarity: Specialization and the creation of new silos
3) AI and Recruitment: Fair or foul?
4) AI and Academic Freedom: Corporate and military investment in research and development
5) AI and Geopolitics: Education and espionage
6) AI and Accessibility: New pathways to inclusion
7) AI and Re-colonization: Enforcing or dismantling old patterns?
8) AI and Privacy: The commodification of education
