AERI – AI, Ethics & Robotics in Education Research Institute
Within FuturopIA Education, the AERI – AI, Ethics & Robotics in Education Research Institute is an independent research institute dedicated to artificial intelligence in education.
It analyzes the impact of AI on education systems, teacher training and children's rights, drawing on international frameworks (UNESCO, OECD, AI Act, GDPR).
AERI also produces the scientific basis for our educational programs and content, and formulates recommendations and resources for ethical, inclusive and responsible use of AI.
Our areas of focus
1
Artificial intelligence
and ethics
We conduct research on the design, evaluation and governance of our educational AI systems, analyzing their ethical, legal and social implications in school contexts.
In parallel, AERI functions as an observatory of AI in education: we ensure structured monitoring of the evolution of AI technologies, uses in institutions and regulatory frameworks (AI Act, GDPR, children's rights), in order to formulate principles and recommendations for truly responsible and controlled uses.
2
Pedagogy & curriculum engineering
We conduct educational and curricular engineering work to structure our missions and pathways around explicit learning objectives, observable skills and precise evaluation criteria.
We draw on the literature in evidence-based education and on international 21st-century competency frameworks to design robust, transferable and directly mobilizable tools for teachers in different contexts.
3
Cognitive science & learning neuroscience
We base the design of our programs on the contributions of cognitive science and educational neuroscience: attentional and executive processes, working memory and long-term memory, consolidation mechanisms, the role of motivation and emotions in learning.
This work allows us to fine-tune the duration, complexity and structure of the missions, to control the cognitive load and to promote sustainable and generalizable learning among students.
