PLD 0-18 Years: Ethics and New Technology: Finding Our Way in the World of AI

In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping education. For Montessori educators, this presents both exciting opportunities and significant challenges. This workshop will explore the pedagogical and policy implications of integrating AI into Montessori environments. While it builds on a previous introductory session, attendance at the earlier workshop is not a prerequisite.

Date: 7 May 2025

In this workshop we will address the questions “What is possible?” with a brief overview of emerging trends in AI and then delve deeper into “What is ethical?”, using values as a foundation for developing thoughtful responses to AI integration, both now and in the future.

Pedagogical Implications – What is possible?

  • Evolving State of AI in Education
  • Moving Beyond Tasks and Teaching Resources

Policy Implications – What is ethical?

Ethical Considerations:

  • Data Privacy and Security
  • Bias and Equity
  • Accountability and Transparency

  • Values and principles
  • Rights and responsibilities
  • Stakeholder engagement
  • Professional standards
