The advent of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, such as large language model chatbots, is likely to have a significant impact in psychotherapy and counselling in the future. In this paper we consider the current state of AI in psychotherapy and counselling and the likely evolution of this field. We examine the ethical codes of…

Artificial intelligence (AI) encompasses the science and engineering behind creating intelligent machines capable of tasks that typically rely on human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, decision-making, and problem-solving. By analyzing vast amounts of data, identifying patterns, and making predictions that were once impossible, AI has…

Generative AI tools (GenAI) are increasingly used for academic tasks, including qualitative data analysis for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). In our practice as academic developers, we are frequently asked for advice on whether this use for GenAI is reliable, valid, and ethical. Since this is a new field, we have not been able to…

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into higher education has revolutionised academic research and teaching, offered transformative opportunities while raising significant ethical challenges. This Delphi study investigates the ethical dilemmas and institutional requirements for maintaining academic integrity in AI-driven…

Face anonymization in intelligent experimental education is crucial for privacy protection. This paper presents a novel, real-time face blurring system for smart experimental settings. Our key contributions include: 1) customized YOLOv8 (Multi-Scale Feature Fusion YOLOv8) algorithm achieving 96% accuracy at 22.67 fps for 1080p video. 2) An…

This study addresses the opportunities presented by AI applications in education and the ethical issues brought about by this technology. AI in education holds excellent potential in personalized learning, automated assessment and feedback, and monitoring and analyzing student performance. However, using these technologies also raises ethical…

In a landscape where technological advancements are disrupting and reshaping the educational paradigm, "After Generative AI" serves as a comprehensive guide to navigate the complexities and opportunities presented by Generative AI (GAI) and guide readers through strategies that must be implemented for a successful journey with GAI. From…

While high-accuracy machine learning (ML) models for predicting student learning performance have been widely explored, their deployment in real educational settings can lead to unintended harm if the predictions are biased. This study systematically examines the trade-offs between prediction accuracy and fairness in ML models trained on the…

As algorithmic decision making is increasingly deployed in every walk of life, many researchers have raised concerns about fairness-related bias from such algorithms. But there is little research on harnessing psychometric methods to uncover potential discriminatory bias inside decision-making algorithms. The main goal of this article is to…

It is of critical importance to be aware of the historical discrimination embedded in the data and to consider a fairness measure to reduce bias throughout the predictive modeling pipeline. Given various notions of fairness defined in the literature, investigating the correlation and interaction among metrics is vital for addressing unfairness.…

Explicable AI in education (XAIED) has been proposed as a way to improve trust and ethical practice in algorithmic education. Based on a critical review of the literature, this paper argues that XAI should be understood as part of a wider socio-technical turn in AI. The socio-technical perspective indicates that explicability is a relative term.…

The influence of algorithms on society is increasing due to their growing presence in all areas of daily life. Although we are not always aware of it, they sometimes usurp the identity of other social actors. The main purpose of this article is to address the meta-research on the field of artificial intelligence and communication from a holistic…

This article explores the efficacy of AI used for teaching and learning tools. First, it examines three critical aspects of AI use in teaching and learning: AI complexity, algorithmic transparency, and AI bias. Second, it reviews recent literature that investigates the benefits and challenges of implementing AI within college classrooms. It…

Purpose: With the advent of ChatGPT, a sophisticated generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool, maintaining academic integrity in all educational settings has recently become a challenge for educators.
