Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to address some of the biggest challenges in

education today, innovate teaching and learning practices, and accelerate progress
towards SDG 4. However, rapid technological developments inevitably bring multiple
risks and challenges, which have so far outpaced policy debates and regulatory
frameworks. UNESCO is committed to supporting Member States to harness the
potential of AI technologies for achieving the Education 2030 Agenda, while ensuring
that its application in educational contexts is guided by the core principles of inclusion
and equity.

UNESCO’s mandate calls inherently for a human-centred approach to AI. It aims to shift
the conversation to include AI’s role in addressing current inequalities regarding access
to knowledge, research and the diversity of cultural expressions and to ensure AI does
not widen the technological divides within and between countries. The promise of “AI for
all” must be that everyone can take advantage of the technological revolution under way
and access its fruits, notably in terms of innovation and knowledge.

Furthermore, UNESCO has developed within the framework of the Beijing Consensus a
publication aimed at fostering the readiness of education policy-makers in artificial
intelligence. This publication, Artificial Intelligence and Education: Guidance for Policy-
makers, will be of interest to practitioners and professionals in the policy-making and
education communities. It aims to generate a shared understanding of the opportunities
and challenges that AI offers for education, as well as its implications for the core
competencies needed in the AI era

Through its projects, UNESCO affirms that the deployment of AI technologies


in education should be purposed to enhance human capacities and to protect
human rights for effective human-machine collaboration in life, learning and
work, and for sustainable development. Together with partners, international
organizations, and the key values that UNESCO holds as pillars of their
mandate, UNESCO hopes to strengthen their leading role in AI in education,
as a global laboratory of ideas, standard setter, policy advisor and capacity
builder.

If you are interested in leveraging emerging technologies like AI to bolster the


education sector, we look forward to partnering with you through financial, in-
kind or technical advice contributions.
'We need to renew this commitment as we move towards an era in which
artificial intelligence – a convergence of emerging technologies – is
transforming every aspect of our lives (…),' said Ms Stefania Giannini,
UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Education at the International
Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Education held in Beijing in May
2019. 'We need to steer this revolution in the right direction, to improve
livelihoods, to reduce inequalities and promote a fair and inclusive
globalization.’'
