The reality is that, although there are encouraging signs, most AIED research, development and deployment continues to take place in what is essentially a moral vacuum. In short, still today, little research has been undertaken, no guidelines have been provided, no policies have been developed, and no regulations have been enacted to address the specific ethical issues raised by the application of AI in educational contexts.<\/p>\n<p>For these reasons, for the AIED 2019 conference, we are holding a second\u00a0<strong><em>ETHICS in AIED: Who Cares?<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0workshop. This will build on the success of the first workshop (which includes a journal paper and commissioned book proposal). It will be an opportunity for researchers who are exploring AIED ethical issues to share their insights, to identify key ethical issues, to map out how to address the multiple challenges, and to inform best practice. The overarching aim will be to help establish a basis for meaningful ethical reflection necessary for innovation in AIED.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop will begin with \u201cETHICS in AIED: What\u2019s the problem?\u201d, presentations by Professors Beverly Woolf and Rose Luckin. This will be followed by \u201cAddressing the Challenges\u201d, round-table small-group discussions, each triggered by an ethics vignette or a provocative statement; and then \u201cMapping the Landscape\u201d, in which up to five AIED conference participants will each give a five-minute \u2018lightning\u2019 presentation on an ethics in AIED research issue with which they have been engaging. The workshop will conclude with a whole-workshop discussion considering what Ethics in AIED 2025 will look like. A core outcome for this workshop will be to identify and propose Ethics in AIED policy for the International AIED Society and future AIED conferences to address.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aiedethics.wordpress.com\/presentations\/\">AIED conference participants are invited to submit an abstract for a five-minute \u2018lightning\u2019 presentation on an ethics in AIED research issue with which they have been engaging.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Important information<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Abstract deadline<\/strong>: Monday, May 20 at 23:59 UK time<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abstracts to be sent to:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:aiedethics@open.ac.uk\">aiedethics@open.ac.uk<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Workshop<\/strong>: Saturday, June 29 (<em>time tbc)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Venue<\/strong>: TO BE CONFIRMED<\/p>\n<p>All the info at the workshop <a href=\"https:\/\/aiedethics.wordpress.com\/\">blog\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AIED 2019 conference in Chicago will host the 29th of June the workshop from OpenAIED &#8220;Ethics in AIED : Who Cares?&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":0,"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1504","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-openaied"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1504","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1504"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1504\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1506,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1504\/revisions\/1506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
