International Educational AI Ethics Framework:A Review and Reflection
The artificial intelligence ethics framework,as a formed combination of interacting moral principles and norms,is a key medium for mitigating ethical risks and achieving the benevolent applica-tion of technology.While China has yet to establish a national-level educational AI ethics guidance framework,international research in this domain has been ongoing for nearly three decades,experien-cing three major developmental phases:reflection and reference,following and imitation,and inherit-ance and independence.It has not only proposed influential macro-level ethical frameworks but has also advanced in areas such as educational ethics and elements,the delineation of applicable scope,and the enhancement of practical guidance.Despite these achievements,international educational AI ethics frameworks face criticism for their discontinuous research processes,late start,and reliance on general AI research,which highlights the need for attention to the reliability of the framework itself and its practical guidance effect when constructing an educational AI ethics framework.Regarding the reliabili-ty of the framework itself,it is crucial to clarify the differences in the connotations of ethical principles in different fields,to attend to the openness and relevance to local contexts,and to clarify the philo-sophical foundations of framework construction.As for the practical guidance effect,it is essential to establish mechanisms to guarantee the implementation of the framework,to ensure the operability of the framework principles,and to optimize the alignment between the framework and its implementa-tion.
