UNESCO is dedicating the International Day of Education 2025 to Artificial Intelligence (AI), under the theme "Artificial Intelligence and Education: Human Initiative in an Automated World." This day aims to encourage reflection on the power of education to equip individuals and communities to navigate, understand, and influence technological advancements.
UNESCO emphasizes the need for strong regulatory frameworks to ensure the integration of AI into education systems in a way that preserves human initiative and promotes peace and understanding.
Moreover, UNESCO highlights that education must remain a deeply human act rooted in social interaction, stressing that investing in schools and teachers is the only way to address the issue of millions of children and young people being out of school. The International Day of Education 2025 will feature events focusing on the challenges and opportunities presented by AI in education, with the goal of promoting human initiative in an increasingly automated world.
