Artificial Intelligence, Schooling, and Moral Considerations in an Evolving Landscape
On August 20, 2025, the Global Environmental Education Partnership (GEEP) and the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) hosted a thought-provoking webinar titled "AI Education and Ethics: Changing the World". The event, which started at 7 AM, delved into the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on education, particularly environmental education, while addressing ethical considerations for educators and students.
The webinar featured guest speakers Joan Haley, Jake Baskin, and Edwin Goutier, who offered insights on the opportunities and ethical questions surrounding AI. The speakers highlighted AI-powered tools for environmental education, educator-specific resources, and an ethical framework for AI integration.
One of the key focuses was on empowering students as AI navigators, emphasising student ownership and educator guidance in using AI responsibly. The speakers also discussed the role of students as AI navigators, the essential role of educators in guiding this journey, and AI's environmental footprint.
Another significant aspect of the webinar was the exploration of AI-powered tools for environmental education, aimed at supporting healthy communities and environmental protection. The speakers presented educator-specific resources and detailed the features of leading AI tools. They also introduced a proposed ethical framework for integrating AI in learner-centered ways.
The webinar incorporated questions from registrants about AI and ethical concerns, making it an interactive and engaging experience for all participants. It marked the beginning of a series on AI and environmental education, focusing on practical guidance and the crucial role educators play in AI-driven learning.
