STOCKHOLM: UNESCO on Thursday published its first guidance on the use of Generative AI for education, urging governmental agencies to regulate the use of the technology, including protection of data privacy and putting an age limit for users.
Students have also taken a liking for GenAI, which can generate anything from essays to mathematical calculations with just a few lines of prompts. "In many cases, governments and schools are embracing a radically unfamiliar technology that even leading technologists do not claim to understand," she said.
"GenAI providers should be held responsible for ensuring adherence to core values and lawful purposes, respecting intellectual property, and upholding ethical practices, while also preventing the spread of disinformation and hate speech," UNESCO said.
