Federal Office for Information Security. Generative AI: Models Opportunities and Risks for Industry and Authorities, 2025.

Generative AI models are capable of performing a wide variety of tasks that have traditionally required creativity and human understanding. During training, they learn patterns from existing data and can subsequently generate new content such as texts, images, audio, and videos that align with these patterns. Due to their versatility and generally high-quality results, they represent, on the one hand, an opportunity for digitalisation. On the other hand, the use of generative AI models introduces novel IT security risks that must be considered as part of a comprehensive analysis of the IT security threat landscape.

Stoudt S, Jernite Y, Marshall B, Marwick B, Sharan M, Whitaker K, et al. (2024) Ten simple rules for building and maintaining a responsible data science workflow. PLoS Comput Biol 20(7): e1012232.

Historically, questions and considerations around research ethics have primarily focused on the issues of privacy, confidentiality, and rights of research participants (or data subjects) [19]. More recently, attention has also been placed on fairness and bias of prediction models and modelers’ responsibility towards users and members from minorities and underrepresented groups as well as regulations concerning data use and privacy as well as explainability of outputs to those affected [4]. The movement towards openness and research transparency have emphasized the relevance to the current scientific ethos of the Mertonian norm of “communality”—that scientific objects such as data, methods, and findings are common property to the scientific community and that advancements in science depends on open communication and sharing [20–24].

Nguyen, A., Hong, Y., Dang, B., & Huang, X. (2024). Human-AI collaboration patterns in AI-assisted academic writing. Studies in Higher Education, 49(5), 847–864.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has increasingly influenced higher education, notably in academic writing where AI-powered assisting tools offer both opportunities and challenges. Recently, the rapid growth of generative AI (GAI) has brought its impacts into sharper focus, yet the dynamics of its utilisation in academic writing remain largely unexplored. This paper focuses on examining the nature of human-AI interactions in academic writing, specifically investigating the strategies doctoral students employ when collaborating with a GAI-powered assisting tool.

Fengchun Miao and Mutlu Cukurova, AI competency framework for teachers, UNESCO, 2024.

The AI competency framework for teachers addresses this gap by defining the knowledge, skills, and values teachers must master in the age of AI. Developed with principles of protecting teachers’ rights, enhancing human agency, and promoting sustainability, the publication outlines 15 competencies across five dimensions: Human-centred mindset, Ethics of AI, AI foundations and applications, AI pedagogy, and AI for professional learning. These competencies are categorized into three progression levels: Acquire, Deepen, and Create.

Fengchun Miao and Kelly Shiohira, AI competency framework for students, UNESCO, August 8, 2024 (revised February 7, 2025).

Grounded in the vision of students as AI co-creators and responsible citizens, the publication emphasizes critical judgement of AI solutions, awareness of citizenship responsibilities in the AI era, foundational AI knowledge for lifelong learning, and inclusive, sustainable AI design. The UNESCO AI Competency Framework for Students aims to help educators in this integration, outlining 12 competencies across four dimensions: 

  • A human-centred mindset
  • Ethics of AI
  • AI techniques and applications
  • AI system design

National Education Association. Report of the NEA Task Force on Artificial Intelligence in Education. July 2024.

Our report and statement cover ideas that are essential to the question of AI in education, namely:

  1. Students and educators must remain at the center of education
  2. Evidence-based AI technology must enhance the educational experience
  3. Ethical development/use of AI technology and strong data protection practices
  4. Equitable access to and use of AI tools is ensured
  5. Ongoing education with and about AI: AI literacy and agency

At the heart of all our recommendations is the principle that humans must always be the center of the teaching and learning experience and play a significant role in every consequential education and employment decision.

PwC’s 2024 US Responsible AI Survey, 2024.

As we move well into the second year of generative AI’s (GenAI) broad emergence — which propelled AI to the top of corporate agendas — there’s no question it’s becoming integral to business. Companies slow to make AI an intrinsic part of their businesses may find themselves so far behind that it will be difficult to catch up. While it’s still early days, leaders now have a better understanding of how AI affects business strategy. They also are beginning to realize what it takes to build and deploy AI solutions that not only drive productivity and business transformation but also manage risk and preserve the incremental value that these solutions create. The key lesson of these early efforts? As AI continues to advance and redefines the nature of work and innovation, success requires sustained focus and a holistic view of the risks and the opportunities to build AI solutions responsibly.

Stanford’s Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence Index Report, 2025.

AI’s influence on society has never been more pronounced. At Stanford HAI, we believe AI is poised to be the most transformative technology of the 21st century. But its benefits won’t be evenly distributed unless we guide its development thoughtfully. The AI Index offers one of the most comprehensive, data-driven views of artificial intelligence. Recognized as a trusted resource by global media, governments, and leading companies, the AI Index equips policymakers, business leaders, and the public with rigorous, objective insights into AI’s technical progress, economic influence, and societal impact.

Brandeis Marshall, No legal personhood for AI, Patterns, Volume 4, Issue 11, 100861, November 10, 2023.

As AI technologies grow to encompass more human-like generative capabilities, discussions have begun regarding how and when AIs may merit moral consideration or even civil rights. Brandeis Marshall argues that these discussions are premature and that we should focus first on building a social framework for AI use that protects the civil rights of all humans impacted by AI.

National Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee (NAIAC), RECOMMENDATIONS: Enhancing AI Literacy for the United States of America, November 2023.

Recommendation 1: Create a National AI Literacy Campaign that fosters national AI literacy. 

Based on the findings in the below “Context” section, a National AI Literacy Campaign should prioritize community college, university, non-traditional students, the workforce, individuals within underrepresented communities, and adults in roles who are most likely to be displaced by AI as aligned with EO 13985. 1 To make this recommendation actionable and executable in the short term, this campaign should both empower communities with adequate access to resources and leverage existing frameworks. This campaign would serve as a global example in AI literacy and allow local leaders in the U.S. to create and execute AI literacy programs to meet the specific needs of their communities.
