QUEBEC - The Quebec government is creating a consultation group to study the pedagogical and ethical issues related to the use of artificial intelligence in universities.
In a news release today, the province says the group will include representatives from post-secondary institutions, student and union associations, and experts in the use of AI in higher education.
The group is also tasked with helping to come up with strategic priorities for the use of AI and implement technology projects in universities and other post-secondary schools.
The government says its goal is to leverage artificial intelligence as a tool to promote academic success, while developing digital skills so students can appreciate the limits of these new technologies.
