Description¶

The review concludes by proposing a roadmap for ethical CAI implementation in education, built on its six-theme framework of responsible-use directions and its identified framework gaps. The article states: "The article concludes by proposing a roadmap for ethical CAI implementation in education and identifying priority areas for future research". Institutions and policymakers can use the roadmap to sequence governance, privacy, integrity, AI-literacy, design, and equity measures when deploying conversational AI agents in educational settings.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Coordination among policymakers, educators, and developers to establish ethical guidelines and frameworks before deployment

Constraints¶

• The roadmap is a proposal from a review synthesis, not an evaluated implementation

Target Learners¶

• higher education students
• K-12 students
• educators and institutions

Target Learning Goals¶

• ethical and responsible integration of conversational AI agents into teaching and learning

Affordances¶

• Six Theme Ethical Responsible Cai Use Framework

Claims¶

• CAI-in-education research shows a framework gap: no end-to-end design guidance, weak CAI-specific usability methods, unclear pedagogical guidance, and limited AI literacy support [+W]

Related Strategies¶

• Foster communities of practice for AI governance instead of rigid top-down policies
• Establish comprehensive institutional AI governance frameworks including task forces, roadmaps, and transparent policies
• Adopt ethical safeguards and pedagogically grounded frameworks when deploying GenAI assessment tools
• Prioritise longitudinal validation, pedagogical grounding, governed adoption of agent infrastructures, and ethics with human oversight in educational agentic AI research
• Deploy agentic AI in education with transparency about agentic decisions, human oversight and institutional responsibility
• Justify GenAI integration through a when-how-why framework: proven contexts, specific implementation methods, and pedagogical reasoning
