Abstract

The application of artificial intelligence in education promotes the change and development of education, but at the same time, it also faces some uncertain ethical risks, mainly in the privacy and security problems caused by big data in education, the alienation of algorithm recommendation and students' personality development, and the "digital divide" which aggravates the existing educational inequity. In order to eliminate and avoid these ethical risks, we should build an ethical regulation system for AI education applications, improve the AI education algorithm transparency and data supervision mechanism, and accurately allocate resources to bridge the various AI education gaps and improve education equity. It can have some theoretical guidance for the future moral and ethical behaviors related within the field of education.
