Daniusevičiūtė-Brazaitė L 2026¶

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Qualitative content analysis of 50 essays found ethical and governance themes relatively absent. The article cautions "This relative absence should not be interpreted as evidence that teachers consider these issues unimportant".

"The ethical and governance-related dimensions of AI were less prominent in teachers' narratives than its immediate pedagogical opportunities and challenges. Issues such as algorithmic bias, transparency, data privacy, accountability, and human oversight were not among the most salient spontaneously expressed concerns."

• Algorithmic bias and data privacy are central ethical risks of AI in adult education — related
• Faculty members and students identify both user-related and algorithm-related ethical risks in AI use in education — reports the opposite
• The most reported risks of AI tools in science and chemistry education are ethical issues, including gender and racial bias, hallucinations, copyright infringement, and plagiarism — reports the opposite
• Academic integrity, professional development, and equity concerns about AI span all surveyed units, though interpreted differently — reports the opposite
• Human-AI relationship concerns persist across all CAI generations while academic integrity and data privacy are emerging ethical concerns — reports the opposite
• Data privacy mitigations centered on data governance and monitoring (68.9%), while technical reliability mitigations centered on human involvement (36.9%) — related
• Generative AI systems carry strong potential for introduced and inherited bias — related
• Respondents proposed testing and monitoring (61.9%) and human involvement (22.7%) as leading mitigations for algorithmic bias — related
• Educators' use of AI in PBL is accompanied by persistent ethical concerns about data privacy, algorithmic bias, and educator autonomy — related
• Privacy protections lag behind reputational concerns: institutions rarely consider implications of capturing audio-visual and behavioral data from private spaces, and AI algorithms are seldom transparent about error rates — related
• Reviewed studies identify data privacy, algorithmic bias, unequal access, and epistemic trust as central ethical concerns in educational AI — reports the opposite
• Review reports ethical concerns of educational AI including algorithmic bias and exploitation of personal data — related
• AI governance vocabulary (bias, transparency, privacy, accountability, regulation, fairness) is a structural zero in students' AI associative networks — related
• When students raised ethics in essays, concerns concerned authorship and integrity rather than privacy or data — related
• Students raise privacy concerns about classroom speech data while teachers initially interpret CoBi as a performance-monitoring device — related
• Ethical concerns (bias, transparency, privacy, authorship, accountability) emerge as cross-cutting dimensions of GenAI-specific TPK across studies of teacher educators — reports the opposite
• Respondents identified algorithmic bias (31.9%), data privacy (27.5%), and technical reliability (27.5%) as the primary risks of AI in education — reports the opposite
• Panelists strongly agreed human oversight must remain central in academic decisions involving GenAI, with clear accountability assignments — related
