AI and Learning Analytics: Ethics and Trust

In this session Jane Bozarth, longtime L&D practitioner and current Director of Research for the Learning Guild, leads a conversation with participants about the new world of learning analytics and AI in learning efforts. 
While learning analytics and AI promise many affordances—from things like increased efficiency by informing better choices of materials and approaches to suggesting personalized learning paths and even predicting future performance—it raises a number of questions often rooted in the philosophical or policy arenas. Among the concerns about the gathering and use of data are privacy, ownership, intentions for and transparency in use, and informed consent, as well as risks such as bias and stereotyping.
