Ethical AI for Educators Certification (EAIEC ®)

EAIEC is designed for educators and education professionals who integrate AI into their teaching practice or curriculum. In line with the EU AI Act and the broader mission of AIECI, ethical and responsible AI literacy in education is not optional but essential. This certification equips and recognizes teachers, coordinators, and trainers who ensure that students engage with AI in a way that respects privacy, inclusivity, and accountability. By bridging pedagogy with legal and ethical safeguards, EAIEC empowers educators to prepare the next generation for an AI-driven world that is fair, transparent, and sustainable.
