Navigating the Ethical Landscape: Unveiling Concerns and Opportunities in the Integration of GenAI Platforms in Education

The literature reveals that the utilisation of GenAI platforms raises concerns related to various human rights, encompassing privacy, equality, bias, cultural values, and the sovereignty of indigenous data. Privacy concerns emerge as student data processed, stored, and reused by GenAI becomes a focal point. Teachers utilising ChatGPT for marking work are cautioned by the Ministry of Education (MOE) against entering private information, with the acknowledgment that teacher judgment is crucial due to potential bias and data inequalities.

The risk of reflecting a 'Global North' perspective in comments on students' work is highlighted, given GenAI's skew towards Western views and proficiency in English. The absence of standardised guidelines at national and global levels in education demands attention, particularly with the anticipated integration of emerging technologies into various curriculum content areas. Despite the challenges of GenAI, it is acknowledged that OpenAI has been transparent about its limitations, cautioning against sole reliance on its output and emphasizing its potential inaccuracies. Notwithstanding the challenges, numerous opportunities emerge from the use of GenAI in education.
