OpenAI will support AI research in Ukrainian schools
This was announced by the press office of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.
OpenAI to fund Ukrainian project
Ukraine is launching the first national study on how artificial intelligence affects school education in wartime conditions.
The project will be funded by OpenAI – the creators of ChatGPT.
The Ukrainian initiative beat hundreds of competitors and was ranked among the world’s top 12 under the global EMEA Youth & Wellbeing programme.
Who is carrying out the research
The project is being carried out by the WINWIN EdTech Centre of Excellence team and the Eastern Europe Foundation.
Experts will investigate how artificial intelligence is changing lessons and the interaction between pupils and teachers.
Particular attention will be paid to how Ukrainian schools use innovative tools in the context of hybrid learning and ongoing security challenges.
How the research will be conducted
The project plans to survey 7,000 participants.
These include pupils aged 12 to 17, their parents and teachers.
The team will also analyse the use of artificial intelligence in Ukrainian schools and develop practical tools for the safe use of neural networks.
What will be created based on the results
As part of the research, an AI Safety Toolkit will be developed – a set of practical tools and advice for teenagers and adults.
It is designed to help people use neural networks safely.
They also plan to launch an open dashboard, collect all the data, prepare a national analytical report and make the results publicly available.
Based on the collected data, experts will formulate recommendations for updating state education policy and introducing new rules in education.
Why Ukraine’s experience is important
The Ministry noted that Ukraine is undergoing a digital transformation under conditions that no other country has yet faced.
The education system continues to digitise and integrate artificial intelligence despite daily security challenges.
It is expected that the project’s results will help the international community develop new approaches and global standards for a safe digital environment for young people.
