Artificial Intelligence and Educational Policy: Bridging Research and Practice

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has been on the rise, and government and non-government organizations around the world are establishing policies and guidelines to support its safe implementation. However, there is a need to bridge the gap between AI research practices and their potential applications to design and implement educational policies. To help the community to address this challenge, we propose a workshop on AI and Educational Policy with the theme "Opportunities at the Intersection between AI and Education Policy." The workshop aimed to identify global challenges related to education and the adoption of AI, discuss ways in which AI might support learning scientists in addressing those challenges, learn about AI and education policy initiatives already in place, and identify opportunities for new policies to be established. We intend to develop action plans grounded in the learning sciences that identify opportunities and guidelines for specific AI policies in education.
