Net Media Lab’s research on AI in Special Education is included in the Strategic Policy Recommendation by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) that was released lately with the title “Trustworthy AI in Education: Promises & Challenges – Background paper for the G20 AI Dialogue, Digital Economy Task Force Meeting”.
The policy study included a reference of the Lab’s study for AI in Special Education. In many countries, diagnosis tools to detect special educational needs, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, spelling difficulties or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are now based on technological devices using AI techniques.
This document was prepared by the OECD’s Directorate for Education and Skills and Directorate for Science, Technology and Innovation as an input for the discussions in the G20 Digital Economy Task Force in 2020, under the auspices of the Saudi Arabia Presidency in 2020.
