Access to high-quality education is a human right that not only greatly benefits individuals but also uplifts entire communities. Millions of children, however, remain out of school due to a variety of factors including gender, location, social background or conflict. With the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Education, Farida Shaheed, has prepared a report to the General Assembly exploring the challenges and benefits of incorporating AI in school settings. With a third of the world still offline or without access to devices, she told UN News’s Ana Carmo that AI is “bound” to increase inequality, intensifying the so-called digital divide.
