DEAR Workshop Series: Inclusive and Ethical Approaches to AI in Education
Date & Time: 10:30 am - 12:00 pm, 30 Sep 2025 (Tue) Venue: Online via Zoom Speakers: Dr. Kent LEE (Senior Lecturer, Department of Sociology, The Chinese University of Hong Kong) Mr. Zhengqiang JIANG (Master’s Graduate, Department of Sociology, The Chinese University of Hong Kong) Dr. Tsz Kit Davy NG (Assistant Professor, Department of Mathematics and Information Technology (MIT), The Education University of Hong Kong)
Abstract: (CUHK) Reimagining Disability: AI, Social Barriers, and Visually Impaired Students This presentation explores emerging research on AI applications for students with disabilities. Early studies often stem from the medical model of disability, which emphasizes how technological advancements help restore disabled students to a "fully functioning" state. While this approach highlights the rehabilitative potential of AI, it tends to overlook how AI can assist students in navigating the social barriers that contribute to their disabilities. Drawing on in-depth interviews with a dozen visually impaired undergraduate and postgraduate students, Jiang will discuss the implications of AI through the lens of the social model of disability. This perspective emphasizes how AI can empower visually impaired individuals to overcome the often subtle, exclusionary practices embedded in everyday life.
(EdUHK) The Critical and Ethical Concerns of AI from the Perspective of AI Literacy Education As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into our daily lives, understanding its ethical implications is essential for both educators and learners. This talk will first explore the conceptualization of Generative AI literacy through an ethical lens. Some effective AI literacy practices will be discussed that emphasize critical thinking and ethical awareness in school and higher education settings. Then, the critical and ethical concerns will be addressed regarding the use of AI, which include lazy learning, authentic expression, socialization, ethical implications, equity and fairness, intense competition, and the potential decentering humans. Finally, the talk will highlight the need to adopt new forms of AI and to update our understanding of AI literacy in a timely manner to embrace emerging technologies.
