q2 i? None of the 28 reviewed articles mentioned any consideration of AI ethics, and the review concludes additional research with longer interventions, larger and more diverse samples, and ethical investigation is warranted. → Létourneau 2025

Evidence¶

Létourneau, A., Martineau, M. D., Charland, P., Karran, J. A., Boasen, J. & Léger, P. M. (2025). A systematic review of AI-driven intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) in K-12 education. npj Science of Learning 10:29. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-025-00320-7

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r?

The review found no ethical consideration across all 28 included studies, which the authors call a concerning oversight given advances in AI; in the abstract they state "the ethical implications of using AI for teaching should be investigated."

"Additionally, the ethical implications of using AI for teaching should be investigated."
