Ethical Considerations for the Future of Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) and Healthcare

Feb 7, 2025

The following project was produced by a working group from the inaugural Carnegie Ethics Fellows cohort reflecting nearly two years of convenings, collaboration, and research. Each report in this special series examines a critical issue at the intersection of ethics and international affairs. The Carnegie Ethics Fellowship aims to develop the next generation of ethical leaders across business, government, academia, and non-governmental organizations.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize healthcare and education, but the ethical implications of these technological systems must be addressed. While AI can improve patient outcomes and personalize learning experiences, mitigating risks such as bias, privacy breaches, and unequal access is essential.
