Southeast Asian Education Minister organizes discussion on the changes in teaching and learning by generative artificial intelligence

In recent years, the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (such as ChatGPT, DALL·E, etc.) has attracted widespread attention in the global education field. Southeast Asian Ministers of Education (SEAMEO) recently held a special meeting to explore the far-reaching impact of this technology on teaching and learning models. The following are related topics and structured data analysis that have been hotly discussed across the Internet in the past 10 days.

1. Current status of application of generative AI in the field of education

According to a report released by SEAMEO, generative AI has played a role in the following scenarios:

2. Controversy and Challenge

Despite the convenience of AI technology, SEAMEO also pointed out the following issues that need to be paid attention to:

3. Policy responses to Southeast Asian countries

Some countries have introduced targeted policies, such as:

4. Future prospects

SEAMEO Secretary General Dr. Ethel Agnes Valenzuela stressed:“Genetic AI is not a replacement for teachers, but a partner to reshape the educational ecosystem.”The organization plans to launch a cross-border cooperation project in 2024, focusing on promoting the following work:

1. Establish a Southeast Asian education AI resource library and share best practices;
2. Carry out pilot projects of the teacher-AI collaborative teaching model;
3. Formulate unified regional ethical standards and technical standards.

With the iteration of technology and the improvement of policies, generative AI is expected to become an important tool for narrowing the education gap and promoting fair learning, but its implementation still requires the joint efforts of educators, technology developers and policy makers.
