Abstract

The increased use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) based applications in our daily lives, not only influence the way we live but also inspires pedagogical practices in education. This study will be instrumental in showcasing how artificial intelligence helps in the improvement of the teaching, learning and pedagogical processes in educational settings and the importance of ethical aspects related to Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIEd). A systematic review (SR) based on the protocol Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) of AIEd in the last nine years (2013-2021), restricted to two databases (Web of Science and Scopus), has been conducted. The major focus is on ethics and ethical constraints faced by the users of AIEd. The search key terms for the review are “Artificial Intelligence in Education” (AIEd), “Artificial Intelligence in digital ethics”. The non-English and in press articles have been excluded. After a careful assessment of each record based on the objectives and scope of the SR, 32 research articles are shortlisted to be included. Further research on the study is done through bibliometric analysis based on co-occurrence of keywords with country-based and citation-based using VOS-viewer software. A comparative analysis of segments was used to understand the ethics in AIEd. The result highlighted two prominent factors for further research in AIEd; the specification of “Digital Ethics” and “Potential Research areas in the implementation of AIEd’s ethics”. The current systematic review has comprehensively expressed the opportunities and capabilities of integration of AIEd within the chosen databases and timespan of nine years.
