education sector
MAIN SUBMITTER: Italy
CO-SUBMITTERS: Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Italy, Israel, Mexico, Saudi Arabia

The UNESCO committee,

Bearing in mind that AI will represent a $13 trillion global market by 2030, and that these

technologies could increase world GDP by 1.2% per year over the next decade,

Observing that these technologies have evolved significantly since their creation and
that they are nowadays capable of :
a. Independently adapting and learning,
b. Performing image recognition and facial recognition,

c. Processing and expressing themselves in different languages,

Aware that the development of new technologies and the digitisation of societies have

made it possible to make increasing use of AI and to extend it to various fields, particularly that
of education,

Considering that the protection of users' personal data is a major issue in the integration

of AI in the field of education,

Convinced that this revolutionary approach to training is only viable if it follows legal

guidelines in order to avoid ethical issues, hence the need to provide a legal framework and
ethical guidelines for the application of this technology in the field of education,

Taking into account the specificities of each student and the personalised

improvements to learning processes AI will therefore be able to bring about,

Expecting collaboration in implementation of AI for education on a global scale,

without replacing teachers,

1. Urges financial support to be provided in the form of member State contributions, in

order to :
a. Support the development and adoption of AI in less technologically advanced
areas, while promoting and respecting users' personal privacy,

b. Fund transparency programs, including:
i. Management by a body of competent and objective scientists,
