📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Education (MEC) published this Wednesday, October 8, a document to collect contributions and suggestions from civil society that will help build the framework for responsible development and use of artificial intelligence in education. The consultation will be open from October 10th to 29th, on the platform.
Educators, students, families, managers, researchers, developers and citizens interested in the topic can participate. Contributions will be grouped into topics such as data protection; combating algorithmic biases; copyright and academic integrity; transparency criteria; use protocols by age group; teacher training; and accessibility and infrastructure priorities.
Reference - Artificial intelligence (AI) is already part of everyday school life, from lesson planning to the personalization of learning trajectories, especially in the context of teaching accessibility to students with different needs.
The framework will define foundations and safeguards so that technology is an ally of learning and not a threat to educational processes. Among the guidelines will be the adoption of measures such as significant human supervision at all stages; alignment with pedagogical purposes; transparency and explainability of systems; data governance and security with algorithmic impact assessment; responsible public purchasing; and continued training of teachers and managers.
