Project Background

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future prospect for education—it is the present. This UNESCO-commissioned report provides a comprehensive framework for governments to navigate the ethical, structural, and pedagogical shifts triggered by AI integration in school systems worldwide.

UNESCO AI Report cover
The flagship report examining AI's role in future-proofing global educational standards.

Major Contributions

Policy Frameworks

  • Equitable Access: Strategies to prevent the "AI divide" from worsening existing educational inequalities.
  • Algorithmic Accountability: Establishing standards for data privacy and bias mitigation in learning management systems.
  • Teacher Empowerment: Focusing on AI as an augmentative tool for educators rather than a replacement.

Personal Involvement

Representing my former laboratory at IISc, I contributed to the report by highlighting practical research implementations and case studies on how AI-driven assistive technologies can foster inclusivity for students with diverse learning needs. This work emphasizes that the future of AI must be both intelligent and accessible.
