Summary: IDRC's Jess Mitchell has contributed this article to our FLOE project's AI in Education collection, supported by the Hewlett Foundation in partnership with Etika Insights. Jess's article serves as a sobering reminder that AI, while powerful, lacks understanding, learning and moral judgment. She calls for institutions to focus on people rather than profit or technology. The AI in Education collection examines AI’s role in education, highlighting both opportunities and risks while emphasizing the importance of responsible implementation.
