Artificial intelligence (AI) is growing more and more, playing an increasingly pivotal role in education as it is being utilized for everything from automated grading to personalized learning. As schools and educators rush to capitalize on the benefits and efficiencies promised by AI, it is important not to overlook the ethical implications of this technology. AI has the potential to enhance education in countless ways, however, the use of student data and dependence on algorithms also raises complex questions about privacy, accountability, and potential biases.

Secure AI should maintain its integrity and reliability, continuing to function as intended even in the face of attacks or system failures.

Measures to be considered

Read the data policies

As long and complicated as they may seem, reading these data policies provides in-depth information on what type of personal data is collected, for what purpose, and how you can access and even delete it. Having this kind of information helps you be aware of your data rights. It helps you make informed decisions about whether to provide personal data or not. 

Don’t Share Personal Data With AI Chatbots

AI chatbot profiles like your ChatGPT account are prime targets for hackers who can manipulate chatbot programmes to deceive you into clicking on malicious links or visiting fraudulent websites. Once this happens, it puts your personal data at risk of manipulation. 

Take more caution in your online activities.

AI is busy working behind the scenes to learn what you like, track your digital footprints on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, then serve you with ads that best resonate with your searches and interests. AI is learning your behavior patterns. AI is not entirely a bad thing, but we encourage you to stay informed and vigilant.
