Abstract
To scope the global landscape of ethical issues involving the use of AI in K-12 education, we identified relevant ethics guidance documents, and then compared and contrasted concerns raised and principles applied. We found that while AIEdK-12 ethics guidelines employed many principles common to non-AIEd policy statements (e.g., transparency), new ethical principles were being engaged including pedagogical appropriateness and children’s rights.
