UK: Russell Group's joint statement on the use of AI in education

KEATH is committed to supporting the Russell Group's vision for the use of AI in education. KEATH believes that AI can be a powerful tool for improving teaching and learning, and KEATH is committed to using AI in a responsible and ethical way to support students and staff in achieving their educational goals.

The Russell Group is a consortium of 24 leading research universities in the United Kingdom. The statement was published on July 12, 2023, and it outlines five key principles that the Russell Group universities believe should guide the use of AI in education:

• AI literacy: Students and staff should be supported to become AI literate, and should be able to leverage the opportunities provided by technological advancements in teaching and learning.
• Transparency: The use of AI in education should be transparent and accountable, with students and staff having a clear understanding of how AI is being used to assess and support their learning.
• Fairness: AI algorithms should be designed to be fair and unbiased. Universities should take steps to mitigate bias in their data and algorithms, and should provide students with opportunities to review and challenge their assessments.
• Academic integrity: AI should be used to support academic integrity in education. Universities should use AI to prevent plagiarism and ensure that student work is authentic.
• Human oversight: AI should be used in conjunction with human judgment. AI algorithms should not be used to make final decisions about student assessments without human oversight.

The Russell Group universities believe that these principles are essential for ensuring that AI is used in a responsible and ethical way to support teaching and learning.

The statement also includes a number of specific recommendations for universities, such as:

• Developing and implementing AI-powered assessment solutions that are fair, transparent, and accountable.
• Providing students and staff with training on AI and how to use it effectively.
• Embedding AI in teaching and learning in a way that supports academic integrity.
• Conducting research on the use of AI in education to inform best practice.
