UNESCO launches AI competency frameworks for teachers and students

UNESCO’s new competence frameworks aim to guide countries in supporting students and teachers to understand the potential as well as risks of AI in order to engage with it in a safe, ethical and responsible manner in education and beyond. They were recently launched on the occasion of Digital Learning Week 2024, one of UNESCO’s annual flagship events and are designed to guide policy-makers, educators and curriculum developers in equipping students with the necessary skills, knowledge and values to engage with AI effectively.
