Artificial Intelligence and Education: Guidance for Policy-makers, published by UNESCO in 2021, provides a strategic framework to help education policy-makers understand and prepare for the impact of AI on education systems. The report aims to foster policy readiness by building a shared understanding of AI’s potential to enhance teaching and learning, improve education management and delivery, and support progress toward SDG 4 on quality education. It also highlights key challenges—including data privacy, algorithmic bias, equity, teacher preparedness, and the digital divide—emphasizing the need for inclusive and ethical AI integration in education.
