The second Trust AI project newsletter is out, and offers an insightful look into the development of the project's Training Incubator for higher education lecturers in humanitarian fields.
🤖 Artificial Intelligence is no longer a distant topic for academic debate. It is increasingly present in lecture halls, research practices, and assessment methods. The focus of this issue is not on hype or alarm, but on helping educators approach AI in a thoughtful, structured, and responsible way.
At the centre of the newsletter is the overview of the 15 micro-learning topics currently being developed within Work Package 3. These span three key areas:
1. ⚖️ Ethical and legal foundations of AI in education, including fairness, transparency, data protection, and academic integrity;
2. 🧩 Practical applications, such as AI-supported research, personalised learning, and accessibility tools;
3. 🧠 Critical evaluation and creative integration, encouraging educators to assess AI-generated content carefully and explore innovative uses in the humanities.
A particularly interesting element is the development of short case studies that translate ethical questions and common misconceptions into relatable teaching scenarios. These are designed to help lecturers reflect on responsible AI use in realistic contexts within lecturing rooms 🎓.
A PDF Version of the newsletter is also available at: https://trustai.unibit.bg/newsletters
MECB is proud to contribute to a project that stands out in its balanced perspective: acknowledging the transformative potential of AI, while keeping human judgement, critical thinking, and pedagogical integrity firmly at the centre.
The training materials will soon be made available online, and we look forward to sharing more as the incubator takes shape.
