On October 8, 2024, under the auspices of the European Network of Academic Integrity (ENAI), an international webinar (panel discussion) “Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education” was held, which was joined by teachers of the Department of Cyber Security of KhNU.
The European Network for Academic Integrity (ENAI) is an international association that brings together educational institutions and individuals interested in supporting and promoting academic integrity. Since the use of AI tools may not always be consistent with academic integrity, ENAI believes it is important to educate all stakeholders in education on how to use AI tools responsibly and by the practices and values of academic integrity. The webinar was dedicated to this issue.
The relevance of the webinar topic in the current conditions of digital transformation was evidenced by the strong representation of the academic community from the world's leading universities: University of Oslo and University of Nord (Norway), University of Stirling (UK - Scotland), University of Melbourne (Australia), University of Salzburg (Austria), Vietnam National University, Masaryk University (Czech Republic), Dalarna University and Malmö University (Sweden), the Swedish University of the Red Cross, Woodstock School (India), National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (Greece), University of Montenegro, National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute” (Ukraine), universities in Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Georgia, Slovakia, etc.
The speakers of the webinar were:
- Veronika Krasnikan (ENAI)
- Roger Larsen (Nor Education, Norway)
- Mary Davis (Oxfordshire Brookes University, UK)
- Thomas Foltinek (Masaryk University, Czech Republic)
- Mike Perkins (Vietnam National University)
The webinar analyzed the prospects and problems of using artificial intelligence in education (AIED) and discussed the trends of growing interest in using artificial intelligence in education to create content that creates opportunities and challenges for academic and research integrity.
The recommendations of ENAI, speakers, and panellists focused on the importance of stakeholders acquiring the skills and knowledge to use AI tools ethically, as well as the need to develop and implement appropriate educational policies to address the opportunities and challenges of AI.
At the suggestion of the webinar participants, ENAI is launching an experiment - starting next week, ENAI will test one artificial intelligence tool every week and publish a short report on social media for educators to read, learn about, and perhaps even try it themselves.
The Department of Cybersecurity staff expresses gratitude to the organizers and speakers of the webinar. It takes up the baton to discuss the role of artificial intelligence in education at the department's methodological seminar and with higher education students.
