Abstract

This study explores the integration of ethical principles and responsible AI usage in postgraduate engineering, technology, and computer science programs. It focuses on master's students' perceptions, particularly regarding ethical concerns in AI. A comprehensive methodology, including detailed interviews and an extensive literature review, is used. The literature review covers current educational practices, the effects of increasing data use, AI's transformative role in education, the EdTech industry's influence, and ethical issues in technological advancements. Thirty interviews provide a basis for comparative analysis, highlighting educational gaps and improvement areas. The study introduces two innovative solutions: the Simulated Ethical Dilemmas (SED) Framework and the Ethics Informed Design Thinking (EIDT) Curriculum. SED immerses students in real-life AI ethical scenarios, fostering critical thinking. EIDT focuses on a proactive, human-centric AI development approach, emphasizing ethics. These solutions aim to enhance AI ethics education, preparing students for the evolving ethical challenges in future AI technologies.
