The UNESCO committee,

Recognizing that AI technology can produce more personalized and accessible education for

students on a global scale through behavior analysis,

Recognizing online education as an effective means to achieve UN Sustainable Development

Goal 4,

Believing that progress towards achievement of UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 will also
have beneficial effects on many other aspects of life and other UN Sustainable Development

Goals,

Affirming the existing international discussions and proposals on the ethical use of AI, such as

the Ethical Guidelines for Trustworthy AI developed by the EU,

Acknowledging the negative effects of discriminatory biases in AI algorithms resulting from
homogeneous or biased datasets,

1. Calls upon the members of the assembly to form an ethical committee on artificial
intelligence in the education sector, the UN Committee on Ethical Artificial Intelligence

(UNCEAI), under the mandate of UNESCO, in which ethical guidelines for the use of AI
behavioral analysis systems in the educational sector will be set and enforced,
including:

a. Providing a careful but nonetheless efficient approach allowing for the swift
implementation of this new technology,
b. Ensuring that changes to the education system be made under the most

favourable conditions,
c. Creating a framework for member States to exchange necessary information
about the situations in their countries regarding AI for education,
d. Encouraging willing member States, NGOs and individuals to provide funding

through donations to ensure the longstanding continuation of collaboration
between member States;
