Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to address some of the biggest challenges in education today, innovate teaching and learning practices, and ultimately accelerate the progress towards SDG 4. However, these rapid technological developments inevitably bring multiple risks and challenges, which have so far outpaced policy debates and regulatory frameworks. This publication offers guidance for policy-makers on how best to leverage the opportunities and address the risks, presented by the growing connection between AI and education. It starts with the essentials of AI: definitions, techniques and technologies. It continues with a detailed analysis of the emerging trends and implications of AI for teaching and learning, including how we can ensure the ethical, inclusive and equitable use of AI in education, how education can prepare humans to live and work with AI, and how AI can be applied to enhance education. It finally introduces the challenges of harnessing AI to achieve SDG 4 and offers concrete actionable recommendations for policy-makers to plan policies and programmes for local contexts.

Experts from disciplines that range from computer science to philosophy consider the challenges of building AI systems that humans can trust. Artificial intelligence-based algorithms now marshal an astonishing range of our daily activities, from driving a car ("turn left in 400 yards") to making a purchase ("products recommended for you"). How can we design AI technologies that humans can trust, especially in such areas of application as law enforcement and the recruitment and hiring process? In this volume, experts from a range of disciplines discuss the ethical and social implications of the proliferation of AI systems, considering bias, transparency, and other issues. The contributors, offering perspectives from computer science, engineering, law, and philosophy, first lay out the terms of the discussion, considering the "ethical debts" of AI systems, the evolution of the AI field, and the problems of trust and trustworthiness in the context of AI. They go on to discuss specific ethical issues and present case studies of such applications as medicine and robotics, inviting us to shift the focus from the perspective of a "human-centered AI" to that of an "AI-decentered humanity." Finally, they consider the future of AI, arguing that, as we move toward a hybrid society of cohabiting humans and machines, AI technologies can become humanity's allies.

We already observe the positive effects of AI in almost every field, and foresee its potential to help address our sustainable development goals and the urgent challenges for the preservation of the environment. We also perceive that the risks related to the safety, security, confidentiality, and fairness of AI systems, the threats to free will of possibly manipulative systems, as well as the impact of AI on the economy, employment, human rights, equality, diversity, inclusion, and social cohesion need to be better assessed. The development and use of AI must be guided by principles of social cohesion, environmental sustainability, resource sharing, and inclusion. It has to integrate human rights, and social, cultural, and ethical values of democracy. It requires continued education and training as well as continual assessment of its effects through social deliberation. The “Reflections on AI for Humanity” proposed in this book develop the following issues and sketch approaches for addressing them: How can we ensure the security requirements of critical applications and the safety and confidentiality of data communication and processing? What techniques and regulations for the validation, certification, and audit of AI tools are needed to develop confidence in AI? How can we identify and overcome biases in algorithms? How do we design systems that respect essential human values, ensuring moral equality and inclusion? What kinds of governance mechanisms are needed for personal data, metadata, and aggregated data at various levels? What are the effects of AI and automation on the transformation and social division of labor? What are the impacts on economic structures? What proactive and accommodation measures will be required? How will people benefit from decision support systems and personal digital assistants without the risk of manipulation? How do we design transparent and intelligible procedures and ensure that their functions reflect our values and criteria? How can we anticipate failure and restore human control over an AI system when it operates outside its intended scope? How can we devote a substantial part of our research and development resources to the major challenges of our time such as climate, environment, health, and education?

L’Union internationale des huissiers de justice (UIHJ) a été créée en 1952. Elle regroupe une centaine de Chambre Nationales, associations professionnelles ou services publics d’exécution émanant de 5 continents. Elle a pour vocation de représenter ses membres auprès des organisations internationales et d’assurer la collaboration avec les organismes professionnels nationaux. Elle pourvoit à l’amélioration des droits procéduraux nationaux et des traités internationaux. Elle s’efforce de promouvoir les idées, les projets et les initiatives tendant au progrès et à l’élévation du statut indépendant de l’huissier de justice. Dans un espace planétaire largement dominé par l’économie, il importe que les juristes remplissent leur rôle en renforçant la présence et le prestige de la justice. S’agissant du droit de l’exécution, l’UIHJ entend mettre à profit son expérience et son influence pour assurer l’effectivité de l’exécution des décisions de justice partout où cela sera possible. Tous les trois ans, l’UIHJ organise un congrès international, lieu de grandes réflexions prospectives. Le thème du congrès de Washington DC (USA) en 2006, « L’harmonisation des procédures d’exécution dans un espace de justice sans frontières », a consacré la naissance du Code mondial de l’exécution, publié en 2015 à l’occasion des travaux du congrès international des huissiers de justice à Madrid (Espagne), fondant les bases d’une harmonisation universelle des règles d’exécution. Depuis, l’UIHJ travaille à la construction d’un ensemble normatif, pour fournir à tous les États des règles simples, efficaces pour permettre à tous les systèmes judiciaires d’utiliser un langage commun. L’exécution digitale représente incontestablement aujourd’hui le plus grand défi auquel le monde doit fait face en matière d’exécution des décisions de justice. Le Code mondial de l’exécution digitale, destiné à s’intégrer au Code mondial de l’exécution, est le résultat du travail de l’UIHJ et du Conseil Scientifique dans ce domaine. =============== Every three years the UIHJ organises an international congress, which provides an occasion to reflect and discuss future developments. The theme of the Washington, DC (USA) congress in 2006, “The harmonisation of enforcement procedures in an area of justice without borders”, enshrined the birth of the Global Code of Enforcement. The Code was published in 2015 on the occasion the work of the international congress of judicial officers in Madrid (Spain), laying the foundations for universal harmonisation of the rules of enforcement. Since then, the UIHJ has been working on building a set of standards, to provide all States with simple, effective principles to allow all judicial systems to use a common language.

This book considers how post-secondary chemistry education can be advanced in developing countries, in order to respond to emerging global, regional, and local needs. Taking Guyana as a case study, it pays particular attention to local challenges facing such territories, including human and financial resource shortages, tension between quality and quantity of graduates, cultural inequalities, unequal access to increasingly important Information and Communication Technology or Technologies (ICTs), and increasing competition from international universities in the developed world. Written by a team with over 70 years in combined teaching experience, it asks whether these challenges can be met and overcome and considers how tertiary chemistry education can better meet the rapidly changing needs of society. The authors examine the status quo of tertiary chemistry education in Guyana against the introductory backdrop of the internal and external stresses on the education system, before exploring selected best practices grounded in a three-pronged model focused on pedagogy, programming, and people. Advancing diversity on each of these levels, the book ultimately shows how this framework can support better learning and teaching, and the development of a better equipped and more diverse Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) workforce. It will appeal to scholars, researchers, graduate students, and tertiary level curriculum developers in chemistry education, interested in an innovative, holistic approach for transforming chemistry teaching that focuses on pedagogical diversity, strategic co-curricular programming, and accommodating diversity and diverse learning styles in the classroom.

Drawing on original and innovative contributions from educators, practitioners and students, Challenges and New Directions in Journalism Education captures and informs our understanding of journalism pedagogy in the context of ongoing shifts in journalism practice. Journalism is once again facing challenges, accused of elitism and often branded as too far removed from the reality of people’s lives. The post-truth context has engendered a crisis of trust, and journalism is portrayed as core to the problem, rather than the solution. Citizen journalism and societal shifts have provoked a move away from ‘top-down’ reporting, towards greater interactivity with audiences, but inclusivity remains an issue with news organisations and industry councils intensifying protocols in a bid to create more diverse newsrooms. This poses multiple questions for journalism educators: How is journalism education engaging with these imperatives in the ‘post-pandemic’ context? How can student perspectives inform our response? What journalism should we teach? Against this landscape, and in response to these questions, this book engages with a series of key themes and objectives related to challenges and new directions in journalism education. These include discussions around safeguarding, sustainability, journalism’s ‘democratic deficit’, integrating media literacy and the ‘post-pandemic’ context. Each chapter draws on primary data, case studies and examples to describe and unpack the topic, and concludes with practical suggestions for journalism educators. Challenges and New Directions in Journalism Education is key reading for anyone teaching or training to become a teacher of journalism.
