“These Guidelines are to be used in schools across Europe and we shall actively promote them through the Erasmus+ programme. Collectively or individually, teachers and school leaders will now have a solid basis to venture out and expand their use of these technologies in a considerate, safe and ethical way. These Guidelines, along with their use on the ground, are fundamental to our ongoing efforts to achieve the European Education Area, while supporting the work being carried out by EU Member States. The Guidelines are part of a longer journey, while the EU is negotiating and preparing for a comprehensive and effective regulatory framework for trustworthy AI, to be implemented across all sectors in the EU, including education. And our work does not stop here. As we move forward, we will continue to develop a better understanding of how to apply these technologies, allowing educators to be even more inclusive and pragmatic, especially in primary and secondary education” (European Commission, 2022, p. 6)“Therefore, I would invite all European teachers and educators to take advantage of these guidelines, and to share their feedback on their practical application and experience, as this will support our ongoing efforts regarding the digital transition in education. We shall also strongly benefit from the views and experience of our pupils, their families, and all stakeholders in the field of education about the use and impact of AI in their daily work and how to make it further beneficial while avoiding risks and negative effects to human rights and our fundamental EU values. Our joint work on AI and data in education shows a shared commitment to the education community, to our learners, to their development and well-being. These Guidelines are an important starting point. It is now up to all of us to promote them and put them into practice. I am counting on you.” (European Commission, 2022, p. 7)
