Artificial Intelligence and education: Preserving human agency in a world of automation
The International Day of Education will take place on 24 January 2025 at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, from 9:30am to 6:00pm.
Under the theme “AI and education: Preserving human agency in a world of automation”, the Day will explore how education can help people understand and steer AI to ensure human control, while directing it towards desired objectives that respect human rights and advance progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals. The event will feature keynote addresses and discussions with education leaders, including teachers, scholars, policy-makers, and private sector partners.
Session on teachers
The Teacher Task Force is co-organizing a breakaway session related to the issue of AI and its implications for teachers, including AI's potential for teaching and learning, possible challenges to agency human agency and autonomy, as well as mitigating strategies to ensure teachers remains central to the education system and are supported in its use.
