UNESCO is calling for submissions of short think pieces (maximum of 1500 words) that explore the implications of AI for education. UNESCO is looking for cogent arguments, new ideas, and foresight about how education and AI are likely to intersect, and the consequences of these intersections.
Pieces that consider the longer-term implications of AI for education are especially encouraged. UNESCO is looking for submissions that gaze beyond the immediacy of today and tomorrow to advance visions of what might be in store for education in the years to come. UNESCO also welcomes ideas about what governments and other groups and individuals can do to help achieve more desirable futures for education in a world where AI companies, technologies, and their applications are projected to become more pervasive and powerful than today.
Selected think pieces will be published on the UNESCO IdeasLAB, which is designed to spark discussion on emerging issues and questions concerning the futures of knowledge, learning and education. UNESCO’s IdeasLAB welcomes diverse perspectives, fresh viewpoints, and provocative debates. Published think pieces will be attributed to the author (or authors) and placed under open access copyright in line with standard UNESCO practices.
