The Artificial Intelligence and Education (AIED) conference celebrated its 30th anniversary with a record number of participants. Over 500 researchers from all over the world came together from July, 8 to July, 12 in Recife, Brazil, to discuss the most pressing issues and most significant research findings in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and education.
Dr Christian M. Stracke, scientific employee at the University of Bonn's University IT and Data Center, attended the conference as a member of the AIED Expert Group of the Council of Europe and presented the first systematic literature analysis on the ethical issues surrounding AI and education to the international colleagues on site in a scientific lecture.
On this occasion, the teaching-learning project "Virtual Collaboration" (ViCo for short) of the University of Bonn and the first handout for teachers in universities, which was created by the European network "Ethical Use of AI", were presented.
In addition, Dr Christian M. Stracke addressed the topic of AI regulation and current developments in a half-day interactive workshop, for which he also welcomed Ahmet-Murat Kilic from the Council of Europe and organised a World Café in small groups on regulatory issues.
There was great interest in the research results and the AIED 2024 conference generally enjoyed active participation. One of the major Brazilian TV stations (Globo) reported on site.
