The topics will focus on practical application and ethical challenges in the use of artificial intelligence. Real examples of successful implementation of AI in schools will be examined, case studies will be analyzed and potential problems and their solutions will be discussed.
The AI in Education project will help teachers, educators and students use AI as a teaching tool without becoming a substitute for learning.
