Towards a human-centered approach to the use of generative AI.







Publicly available generative AI (GenAI) tools are rapidly emerging, and the release of iterative versions is outpacing the adaptation of national regulatory frameworks. The absence of national regulations on GenAI in most countries leaves the data privacy of users unprotected and educational institutions largely unprepared to validate the tools.

Based on a humanistic vision, the Guidance proposes key steps to the regulation of GenAI tool, including mandating the protection of data privacy, and setting an age limit for the independent conversations with GenAI platforms. To guide the proper use of the tools in education and research, this Guidance proposes a human-agent and age-appropriate approach to the ethical validation and pedagogical design processes.



The Guidance looks into what GenAI is and how it works, presenting the diverse technologies and models available identifIes a range of controversial ethical and policy issues around both AI in general, and GenAI specifically discusses the steps and key elements to be examined when seeking to regulate GenAI based on a human-centred approach – one that ensures ethical, safe, equitable and meaningful use proposes measures that can be taken to develop coherent, comprehensive policy frameworks to regulate the use of GenAI in education and research looks into the possibilities for creatively using GenAI in curriculum design, teaching, learning and research activities explores long-term implications of GenAI for education and research

Harnessing the power of literacy for sustainable, just and peaceful societies.

  Literacy is central to building inclusive, just, sustainable digitalized societies and reimagining education. When acquired through critical pedagogy and ‘ engaged pedagogy ’ prioritizing co-creation of knowledge through non-hierarchical dialogue and critical reflection, literacy enables people to read not only a ‘word’ but the ‘world’ in which they live to become agents for transformations. Digital platforms are expanding access to such dialogic learning , creating new possibilities for interconnectedness, collaborative meaning-making, and inclusive engagement in lifelong learning processes. Digital technologies are also facilitating mother language-based and/or multilingual approaches to literacy development , which in turn contributes to safeguard linguistic, cultural and epistemic diversity. Also important is more reflective and responsible engagement with digital tools, which considers their environmental impact, such as water and energy consumption.
