Artifical Intelligence (AI) in Education has great potential for building more personalised curricula, as well as democratising education worldwide and creating a Renaissance of new ways of teaching and learning. We believe this is a crucial moment for setting the foundations of AI in education in the beginning of this Fourth Industrial Revolution. This report aims to synthesize how AI might change (and is already changing) how we learn, as well as what technological features are crucial for these AI systems in education, with the end goal of starting this pressing dialogue of how the future of AI in education should unfold, engaging policy makers, engineers, researchers and obviously, teachers and learners. This report also presents the advances within the X5GON project, a European H2020 project aimed at building and deploying a cross-modal, cross-lingual, cross-cultural, cross-domain and cross-site personalised learning platform for Open Educational Resources (OER).

In line with the decision of UNESCO’s General Conference at its 40th session (40 C/Resolution 37), the Director-General constituted the Ad Hoc Expert Group (AHEG) for the preparation of a draft text of a recommendation on the ethics of artificial intelligence in March 2020.
Adapting to the challenging situation posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the AHEG worked virtually from the end of March until beginning of May 2020, and produced the first version of a draft text of the Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence contained in this document.
It is underlined that this first version of a draft text will continue to be revised by the AHEG until beginning of September 2020, taking into account the feedback received during the multi-stakeholder consultation process to be held from June to July 2020.
