Special Update: Google Launches Gemini for Education at ISTE 2025
  1. Teachers and Parents Can’t See AI Chat Transcripts While Gemini may be “student safe,” only administrators can review chat histories. That’s a huge blind spot. If a student is confused by a Gemini response, misuses the tool, or gets inaccurate information—teachers and parents won’t know unless the student says something.

  2. Is AI doing the thinking—or the student? Many features encourage speed and convenience, but could inadvertently promote over-reliance. Students can get summaries, answers, and explanations so easily that critical thinking risks taking a backseat.

  3. There’s no way to track edits or usage Gemini doesn’t offer version history for AI-generated content. That means teachers can’t see how a document evolved—or how much of it came from AI.

  4. Equity gaps may widen Some schools have tech coaches, training time, and infrastructure to support thoughtful AI use. Others don’t. Without equitable implementation support, Gemini’s benefits may be limited to already well-resourced districts.

How the Vatican Is Shaping the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence
How the Vatican Is Shaping the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence
Shane Tews is joined by Father Paolo Benanti, a theologian and ethicist for the Vatican on AI, for a thought-provoking interactive discussion that transcends traditional debates on values and policy to examine AI's broader psychological, philosophical, and even theological implications.

Digital ethicswashing: a systematic review and a process-perception-outcome framework - AI and Ethics
Digital ethicswashing: a systematic review and a process-perception-outcome framework - AI and Ethics

The term “ethicswashing” was recently coined to describe the phenomenon of instrumentalising ethics by misleading communication, creating the impression of ethical Artificial Intelligence (AI), while no substantive ethical theory, argument, or application is in place or ethicists involved. Ethicswashing resembles greenwashing for environmental issues and has become an issue – particularly since 2019 with Thomas Metzinger’s harsh criticisms as a member of the EU panel for developing ethical guidelines for AI, which he called “ethicswashing.” Nowadays, increased ethics washing has changed the perception of AI ethics, leading critics to find a “trivialization” of ethics that may even lead to “ethics bashing.”

Considering the scattered literature body and the various manifestations of digital ethicswashing, we recognise the need to assess the existing literature comprehensively. To fill this gap, this research systematically reviews current knowledge about digital ethicswashing stemming from various academic disciplines, contributing to an up-to-date assessment of its underlying characteristics. Applying content analysis to map the field leads us to present five thematic clusters: ethicswashing, ethics bashing, policymaking and regulation, watchdogs, and academia.

In conclusion, we synthesise ethicswashing along a process-perception-outcome framework to provide future research to explore the multiple meanings of digital ethicswashing.

AI Ethics, Ethics Washing, and the Need to Politicize Data Ethics
AI Ethics, Ethics Washing, and the Need to Politicize Data Ethics
Many commercial actors in the tech sector publish ethics guidelines as a means to ‘wash away’ concerns raised about their policies. For some academics, this phenomenon is reason to replace ethics with other tools and methods in an attempt to make sure that the tech sector does not cross any moral Rubicons. Others warn against the tendency to reduce a criticism of ‘ethics washing’ into one of ethics simpliciter. In this essay, I argue firstly that the dominant focus on principles, dilemmas, and theory in conventional ethical theories and practices could be an explanation of it lacking resistance to abuse by dominant actors, and hence its rather disappointing capacity to stop, redirect, or at least slow down big tech’s course. Secondly, drawing from research on casuistry and political philosopher Raymond Geuss, this essay will make a case for a question, rather than theory or principle-based ethical data practice. The emphasis of this approach is placed on the acquisition of a thorough understanding of a social-political phenomenon like tech development. This approach should be replenished with one extra component to the picture of the repoliticized data ethics drawn so far: the importance of ‘exemplars,’ or stories. Precisely the fact that one should acquire an in-depth understanding of the problem in practice will also allow one to look in the past, present, or future for similar and comparable stories from which one can learn.
