New York College Athens/ Computer Technology Institute, Athens, Greece This study focuses on developing an innovative ethics framework for the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education, aligned with the European Union's ethics guidelines. The project addresses the need for ethical oversight in the deployment of AI technologies in educational settings, ensuring that such implementations are responsible, transparent, and conducive to student learning and autonomy. Emphasizing four key ethical pillars—Student Agency, Privacy Concerns, Prevention of Harm, and Explainability—this research aims to harmonize AI applications with the ethical standards proposed by the European Union, particularly those concerning human oversight and algorithmic transparency. The study will use qualitative research methods, including interviews and open-ended questionnaires, to gather data from students experiencing AI-driven educational tools, such as adaptive learning platforms and AI-enhanced tutoring systems. This approach will enable a comprehensive understanding of student interactions with AI, highlighting areas where ethical practices can be improved to align with European standards. The anticipated outcome is creating an ethics framework that addresses the immediate ethical concerns associated with AI in education and sets a benchmark for future AI deployments across educational institutions. This framework will guide educators and policymakers, ensuring that AI enhances the educational experience without compromising ethical standards or student welfare. By aligning with European Union guidelines, the framework will ensure consistency and compliance in AI implementations across member states, fostering a standardized approach to ethical AI in education. How To Train Your Dragon Costa Constantinides1 1. Lighthouse Primary School, Limassol, Cyprus The zeitgeist is dead. Long live the zeitgeist. Schooling is dead; long live education! The Mission - Creation of AI-facilitated, unique, self-directed education that develops fully motivated, ethical, creative, and critical thinkers! The Concept - Instead of society/schools imposing knowledge and bias on children, Alternative Intelligence is or will soon be in a position to foster a paradigm shift in the educational process itself. Learning will no longer emphasize what questions we can answer but what we can ask. However, learning how to question our questions is a learning objective. Fundamentally, schools do not query their foundations. They assume they aim to supply Universities with pre-chewed food as the Universities provide employers with pre-chewed employees. Since AI/Robots will be capable of doing almost every job on earth within 20 years or less, the mission to make compliant
