Ethical and Policy Issues in Applying AI to the Design and Implementation of University Training Programs in the Digital Transformation Era
Downloads
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the role and challenges of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in designing and implementing university curricula during the digital transformation era. The author highlights AI applications in personalized learning, progress assessment, and automated feedback, while identifying ethical risks such as privacy violations, algorithmic bias, and lack of transparency. By benchmarking against international policy frameworks (EU, UNESCO, OECD), the study reveals gaps in Vietnam’s legal landscape and proposes recommendations on ethics, oversight, and AI policy development in higher education, aiming towards a humanistic and sustainable education system.
