ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT: UPHOLDING ETHICAL VALUES AND ENSURING SUSTAINABILITY.

Abstract

The incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational management has significantly enhanced administrative efficiency, data-driven decision-making, and personalized learning. However, its rapid integration raises ethical challenges concerning fairness, transparency, privacy, and accountability. The paper develops a conceptual review for Artificial intelligence, educational management, Ai in educational management, ethical and sustainable AI adoption in educational management and explores the ethical imperatives essential to responsibly deploying AI in educational management. The paper emphasizes the importance of fairness and non-discrimination, explainability of AI decisions, protection of personal data, and human-centered approaches in decision-making processes. The study argues that for AI to be sustainable and trusted in educational systems, it must operate under clear ethical guidelines and governance frameworks.  It concludes by offering practical suggestions to guide educators, policymakers, and developers to adopt ethical standards that safeguard the rights and dignity of all stakeholders, aligned with core educational values and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Upholding these values ensures that AI supports—not undermines—the core principles of inclusive and equitable education.
