Quality education helps reduce inequalities and reach gender equality and is conducive to fostering other Goals of United Nations. Technology in education is never ideologically neutral. It exhibits and privileges worldviews and reflects ways of thinking and knowing. New generative AI models and utilities are no exception. Developments in generative AI raise fundamental questions for the future of education. What will be the role of teachers with this technology in wide circulation? What will assessment look like now that AI utilities can perform very well on examinations that were, until very recently, widely considered un-hackable, such as tests to demonstrate mastery of specific subject areas, and exams to credential skilled professionals. In a world where generative AI systems seem to be developing new capabilities, what skills, outlooks, and competencies should our education systems cultivate? What changes are needed in schools and higher education to help students navigate a future where human and machine intelligence seems to be ever more closely connected – one supporting the other and vice versa?
The book emphasizes the importance of integrating Generative AI in education to achieve SDGs. It reiterates the potential benefits of AI in fostering inclusive, equitable, and quality education for all. This edited book's major purpose is to bring together prominent academics, researchers, and practitioners in the disciplines of AI and education to discuss the uses, consequences, and prospects of Generative AI in the context of advancing SDGs. The book will be able to produce a comprehensive and cutting-edge resource in three parts.
