In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has witnessed remarkable expansion, greatly benefiting the education sector. Nonetheless, this advancement brings forth several ethical dilemmas. The existing research on these ethical concerns within the educational framework is notably scarce, particularly when viewed from a user's standpoint. This research systematically reviewed 17 empirical articles from January 2018 to June 2023, sourced from peer-reviewed journals and conferences, to outlined existing ethical framework in Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED), identify related concerns from user's perspectives, and construct Ethics Guideline for AIED. The finding revealed that certain ethical aspects, including the ethics of learning analytics and the ethics of algorithms in AIED, are often neglected in the existing ethical frameworks, principles, and standards for AIED. Based on the blank between existing ethical frameworks and ethic concerns from user's perspectives, the research proposes more inclusive and thoughtfully Ethics Guideline for AIED. The study also provides actionable recommendations for multiple stakeholders, emphasizing the need for guidelines that address user-centered concerns. In addition, How this Ethics Guideline for AIED could be developed is discussed, along with outlining potential avenues for future research.
近年来,人工智能(AI)得到了显著发展,极大地惠及了教育领域。尽管如此,这一进步也带来了一些伦理困境。在教育框架内,针对这些伦理问题的现有研究明显不足,尤其是从用户的角度来看。本研究系统回顾了2018年1月至2023年6月期间来自同行评审期刊和会议的17篇实证文章,以概述教育人工智能(AIED)中的现有伦理框架,从用户角度识别相关问题,并构建AIED伦理指南。研究结果表明,在AIED现有的伦理框架、原则和标准中,某些伦理方面,包括学习分析伦理和AIED算法伦理,常常被忽视。基于现有伦理框架与用户角度的伦理问题之间的空白,该研究提出了更具包容性和深思熟虑的AIED伦理指南。该研究还为多个利益相关者提供了可操作的建议,强调了制定以用户为中心问题的指南的必要性。此外,还讨论了如何制定AIED伦理指南,并概述了未来研究的潜在途径。
