Even enthusiastically unabashed promoters of the use of AI in education admit that currently AI is used ( by both students and teachers ) in almost all schools with only one in four having any policy/ guidelines.
"The ultimate challenge in educating young persons today is to enable them to think for themselves and take pleasure in doing so, within a digital ecosystem which is increasingly geared to think on their behalf." The Digital Enlightenment Board

The EUDHIT publication page offers a just published research report by Steven Umbrello comparing frameworks focused on AI across many topics. There's also this wonderfully handy and clear comparison table. But the report is also very well worth a read as it introduces each framework succinctly.
As is typical with the OECD, this is a thorough and resource rich report. The introduction ponders "How can we prepare students for jobs that have not yet been created, to tackle societal challenges that we can't yet imagine, and to use technologies that have not yet been invented? How can we equip them to thrive in an...
A few recent papers and articles caught our eye. Each consider bias, fairness and in the case of "Which humans?" paper, the WEIRD-ness of our interactions with AI. Here, WEIRD is Western, Educated, Industrialised, Rich & Democratic, and found that as the distance from the US increases, the GPT's "alignment with local human values declines."

Main areas of our focus
VISION
Digital enlightenment
We believe that people should enjoy the kind of autonomy and freedom online that they do offline. We believe in the value of human rights, democracy, privacy, transparency and accountability for our society.
We believe that this is best achieved by actively working with the interplay of technology and policy.
By understanding how current and future digital technology can best be used to express our identities in the digital world, taking into account the core values we cherish, we can support the rights of the individual in society.
MISSION
Nurturing leaders of the future
A new generation of "digital leaders" in academia, industry and government is urgently needed to successfully address the challenges of this decade.
We set out to create a rich environment in which future leaders can flourish, learn from today's and past digital frontrunners, be enlightened by thoughtful and open debate, and being appreciated for their contribution, while developing thought leadership.
ACTIONS
Person-centric, innovative, high-quality
We organise in-depth workshops, perform studies, hold intergenerational fireside chats, and go deep into future leadership in policy retreats.
Our activities are appreciated because they bring together people who enjoy talking to each other, are seriously engaged and care about the digital future, are innovative, and provide a handle on the interplay of policy and technology.
