Artificial Intelligence is transforming learning, employment and career guidance at an unprecedented rate. But… are we prepared to use it in a more ethical, critical and inclusive way?
INclusive TrAIners is an Erasmus+ project that we launched last October as part of the KA2 strategic partnerships with a very specific goal: to empower Continuing Vocational Education and Training (CVET) trainers to become leaders in the ethical and inclusive use of AI in training and employment. Because the use of AI is advancing very quickly, but its integration will only be fair if it is fair for everyone.
AI can personalise itineraries, detect training needs and open doors to employment… but it can also generate bias, exclude and reproduce inequalities if not used correctly. That is why we do not need trainers who simply “use” AI; we need trainers who understand it, question it and transform it into a tool for social equity.
To this end, over the two-year duration of the project, we will develop a whole series of innovative, accessible and practical training resources, including:
- The Inclusive TrAIners Open Educational Resources Platform
- The Virtual Lab for Experimenting with Real Tools
- A Bank of free and up-to-date resources, guides and best practices
All of this, including specific recommendations for working with vulnerable groups.
INclusive TrAIners is a first step towards building a network of committed trainers, where they can share experiences, tools, methodologies and new strategies for integrating AI based on ethics, creativity and social inclusion.
Because technology does not replace human value; it enhances it when used responsibly, sensibly and with social awareness.
AI is already part of the present. Now we must ensure that it is also part of a dignified, accessible and fair future.
