On May 22nd, the Center for Human Rights Research and Education organized a workshop titled “Artificial Intelligence and Personal/Social Responsibility.” Led by Professor Dr. Saša Mladenović and Associate Professor Dr. Marita Brčić Kuljiš, the event discussed about AI’s role in creativity and education, as well as its ethical implications.
AI and Creativity
A key discussion focused on AI’s ability to be “creative”. The experts debated whether AI can genuinely create or if it merely replicates patterns from data. This raised important questions about the nature of creativity and the capabilities of generative models in producing art, music, and literature.
AI in Education
The workshop also explored AI’s impact on education. AI technologies are enhancing personalized learning, intelligent tutoring, and administrative tasks. While these advancements promise improved learning outcomes and accessibility, they also bring ethical concerns such as data privacy and algorithmic bias.
Ethical and Societal Responsibility
The event concluded with reflections on the ethical challenges of AI. The speakers emphasized the need for responsible AI development that aligns with human values and avoids increasing social inequalities. They called for interdisciplinary collaboration to navigate AI’s complex landscape responsibly.
Final Thoughts
The workshop and later discussion highlighted AI’s transformative potential in all fields including education and the importance of ethical considerations in its development and use. As AI continues to evolve, fostering a culture of responsibility and ethical awareness is crucial to ensure a future where technology benefits all of humanity.
