Artificial Intelligence in Education: Who Shapes the Child’s Future?

27 May 2026

RiTo No. 53, 2026

The article argues that AI in education is often introduced as a quick fix, while children’s rights, voices, and real needs remain marginal.

The main problem is that schools increasingly use data-driven platforms and AI systems to monitor, assess, and shape students, even though these tools can reinforce inequality, reduce agency, and make opaque decisions about young people’s futures. The authors call for clear rights-based rules, careful risk assessment before adoption, and much stronger involvement of children in decisions about educational technologies. Schools should not become testing grounds for unproven systems.
