AI Policy & Ethics

How can ethical principles become decisions that educators can explain and act on? I review work on AI governance, human agency, accountability, academic integrity, and the choices institutions make about educational technologies.

The collection connects broad policy debates with practical questions about teaching and professional responsibility. It asks who is affected, who can challenge a decision, and what meaningful oversight requires.
