Abstract
In response to these questions and emerging challenges in the region, the UNESCO Regional Office in Bangkok (UNESCO Bangkok), in collaboration with The Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO), organized the regional experts meeting on 7-9 November 2023 in Bangkok, Thailand. This hybrid meeting, titled ‘Empowering Minds: A Round Table on Generative AI and Education in Asia-Pacific’, explored the implications of generative AI for teacher training and development. It served as an important platform to leverage opportunities and mitigate risks of generative AI in education across the Asia-Pacific region.
The overarching goal of this round table was to guide the transformation of education systems in the Asia-Pacific by:
1. Exploring implications for responsible and ethical integration of generative AI in teaching and learning, with a focus on ChatGPT and other emerging technologies.
2. Enhancing the capacities of educators to utilize AI competencies in teaching and learning at the school level, while optimizing potential benefits and minimizing risks.
