미래교육시대의 인간교사와 인공지능(AI) 교사의 역할 및 기능 정립 방향 탐색 연구 Year of publication: 2021 Author: 전제상 Corporate author: 한국교육정책연구소 이 연구는 인공지능의 급격한 발전과 사회의 변화로 교육 현장에 점차 도입될 인공지능이 어떤 모습으로 존재해야 하는지 그리고 어떤 방식으로 학생들에게 도움을 줄 수 있는지 길을 찾고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 인공지능의 현재 상황과 선행연구를 분석하는 것으로 시작하여 인공지능(AI) 교사에 대한 현장 교사들의 인식을 양적, 질적으로 살펴보았다. 이를 토대로 미래교육시대의 교사와 인공지능(AI) 교사의 역할과 기능을 정립하고 상호보완적인 협업 방안을 모색한 후 인공지능(AI) 교사 도입에 따른 제도적, 법적, 윤리적 기준을 확인하였다.인공지능 기반의 미래 사회가 도래했다고 하여 인간교사의 역할이 크게 바뀌지는 않는다. 기존의 해오던 여러 수업과 업무 중에 우선순위의 변화가 생길 수 있고, 수업보다 행정에 할애했던 시간을 수업과 학생지도, 상담 등에 집중할 수 있게 될 것으로 기대한다. 다만 인공지능(AI) 교사 도입에 따라 야기될 윤리적 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 도입 단계부터 준비하여 지속적인 확인과 점검, 성찰을 통해 협업 과정이 목적에 알맞게 기능하도록 모든 요소에 대해 철저하게 대비하고 점검하여야 한다. 
Empowering Minds: A Round Table on Generative AI and Education in Asia-Pacific Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: UNESCO Bangkok The emergence of generative AI, a recent groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) technology capable of producing sophisticated content from text and images to simulations and audiovisuals, has become a transformative force across multiple sectors. Popular applications like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude are prime examples of the rapidly expanding range of generative AI tools that are having an impact in education across the Asia-Pacific. These tools offer unprecedented opportunities for enabling personalized learning experiences at scale and expanding access to high-quality learning resources. However, as generative AI increasingly reshapes classrooms, critical questions remain unanswered, such as:- How can generative AI be ethically and responsibly integrated into educational settings?- What policies and safeguards are needed to address issues like misinformation, algorithmic bias and threats to academic integrity?- What challenges do Asia-Pacific countries face in harnessing generative AI in education, given the region’s unique context?- What are the strategies for Asia-Pacific countries to take up opportunities offered by generative AI, while mitigating the risks? In response to these questions and emerging challenges in the region, the UNESCO Regional Office in Bangkok (UNESCO Bangkok), in collaboration with The Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO), organized the regional experts meeting on 7-9 November 2023 in Bangkok, Thailand. This hybrid meeting, titled ‘Empowering Minds: A Round Table on Generative AI and Education in Asia-Pacific’, explored the implications of generative AI for teacher training and development. It served as an important platform to leverage opportunities and mitigate risks of generative AI in education across the Asia-Pacific region.

The publication seeks to contribute to a critical understanding of the digital environment in which learning and teaching unfold, and strategies and tactics for the use of new technologies and the digitalization of educational interactions. 
Global Toolkit on AI and the Rule of Law for the Judiciary Year of publication: 2023 Author: Miriam Stankovich | Ivana Feldfeber | Yasmín Quiroga | Marianela Ciolfi Felice | Vukosi Marivate Corporate author: UNESCO What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)? How does it work? And more importantly, how does it find its way into the judicial context? Technologies such as AI have been around for decades, but only recently have they begun to be used in a variety of justice and law enforcement settings. While AI has immense potential for the justice system, helping judges make better decisions, improving efficiency, increasing access, and helping to detect and prevent crime, there are also some important issues that justice stakeholders should consider as they prepare for a future in which AI is increasingly used in justice systems.In 2022, UNESCO launched two needs assessments. First, through UNESCO’s Artificial Intelligence Needs Assessment Survey in Africa, 90% of the 32 countries surveyed requested capacity building support for the Judiciary on AI. At the same time, a second global survey of judicial actors in 100 countries underlined the need for better understanding the use of AI in the administration of justice and its wider legal implications on societies.The “Global Toolkit on AI and the Rule of Law” for the Judiciary responds to these needs and provides judicial actors (judges, prosecutors, state attorneys, public lawyers, law universities and judicial training institutions) with the knowledge and tools necessary to understand the benefits and risks of AI in their work. The toolkit will assist judicial actors in mitigating the potential human rights risks of AI by providing guidance on the relevant international human rights laws, principles, rules and emerging jurisprudence that underpin the ethical use of AI. Manuel de formation mondial: l'IA et l'état de droit pour le pouvoir judiciaire Year of publication: 2023 Author: Miriam Stankovich | Ivana Feldfeber | Yasmín Quiroga | Marianela Ciolfi Felice | Vukosi Marivate Corporate author: UNESCO Qu'est-ce que l'intelligence artificielle (IA) ? Comment ça marche ? Et plus important encore, comment trouve-t-elle sa place dans un contexte judiciaire ? Des technologies telles que l'IA existent depuis des décennies, mais elles n’ont commencé à être utilisées dans divers cadres judiciaires et exécutifs que très récemment. Bien que l'IA ait un immense potentiel pour le système judiciaire, pour aider les juges à prendre de meilleures décisions, améliorer leur efficacité, l'accessiblité, et pour aider à détecter et à prévenir la criminalité, elle soulève également des questions importantes parmi les acteurs judiciaires, alors qu'ils se préparent à un avenir où l'IA sera de plus en plus utilisée dans les systèmes judiciaires. En 2022, l'UNESCO a lancé deux évaluations des besoins. Tout d'abord, dans le cadre de l'enquête de l'UNESCO sur l'évaluation des besoins en matière d'intelligence artificielle en Afrique, 90 % des 32 pays interrogés ont demandé un soutien au renforcement des capacités du pouvoir judiciaire en matière d'IA. Dans le même temps, une deuxième enquête mondiale sur les acteurs judiciaires dans 100 pays a mis en avant la nécessité de mieux comprendre l'utilisation de l'IA dans l'administration de la justice et ses implications juridiques plus larges sur les sociétés. Cet ouvrage, « Manuel de formation mondial : l'IA et l'état de droit pour le pouvoir judiciaire », répond à ces besoins et fournit aux acteurs judiciaires (juges, procureurs, avocats, juristes, facultés de droit et établissements de formation judiciaire) les connaissances et les outils nécessaires pour comprendre les avantages et les risques de l'IA dans leur travail. Ce manuel de formation aidera les acteurs judiciaires à atténuer les risques potentiels de l'IA pour les droits humains en fournissant des conseils sur les lois, principes, règles et jurisprudences internationales pertinents en matière de droits humains qui sous-tendent l'utilisation éthique de l'IA. Kit de herramientas global sobre IA y el estado de derecho para el poder judicial Year of publication: 2023 Author: Miriam Stankovich | Ivana Feldfeber | Yasmín Quiroga | Marianela Ciolfi Felice | Vukosi Marivate Corporate author: UNESCO ¿Qué es la Inteligencia artificial (IA)? ¿Cómo funciona? Y lo que es más importante, ¿cómo se abre camino en el contexto judicial? Tecnologías como la IA han existido durante décadas, pero solo recientemente han comenzado a usarse en una variedad de entornos de justicia y aplicación de la ley. Si bien la IA tiene un inmenso potencial para el sistema de justicia, ya que ayuda a los jueces a tomar mejores decisiones, mejora la eficiencia, aumenta el acceso y ayuda a detectar y prevenir el delito, también existen algunas cuestiones importantes que las partes interesadas en la justicia deben tener en cuenta mientras se preparan para un futuro en el que la IA se utiliza cada vez más en los sistemas de justicia. En 2022, la UNESCO lanzó dos evaluaciones de necesidades. En primer lugar, a través de la Encuesta de evaluación de necesidades de inteligencia artificial de la UNESCO en África, el 90 % de los 32 países encuestados solicitaron apoyo para el desarrollo de capacidades para el poder judicial en materia de IA. Al mismo tiempo, una segunda encuesta mundialde actores judiciales en 100 países subrayó la necesidad de comprender mejor el uso de la IA en la administración de justicia y sus repercusiones jurídicas más amplias en las sociedades. El “Kit de herramientas mundial sobre la IA y el Estado de derecho” para el Poder Judicial responde a estas necesidades y proporciona a los actores judiciales (jueces, fiscales, fiscales estatales, abogados públicos, universidades de derecho e instituciones de formación judicial) el conocimiento y las herramientas necesarias para comprender los beneficios y riesgos de la IA en su trabajo. El kit de herramientas ayudará a los actores judiciales a mitigar los posibles riesgos de la IA para los derechos humanos al brindar orientación sobre las leyes, principios, normas y jurisprudencia internacional de derechos humanos relevantes que sustentan el uso ético de la IA.
