Unpacking the ethics of using AI in primary and secondary education: a systematic literature review.
Article in AI and ethics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This paper provides a systematic review of the literature discussing the ethics of using artificial intelligence in primary and secondary education (AIPSED). Although recent advances in AI have led to increased interest in its use in education, discussions about the ethical implications of this new development are dispersed. Our literature review consolidates discussions that occurred in different epistemic communities interested in AIPSED and offers an ethical analysis of the debate. The review followed the PRISMA-Ethics guidelines and included 48 sources published between 2016 and 2023. Using a thematic approach, we subsumed the ethical implications of AIPSED under seventeen categories, with four outlining potential positive developments and thirteen identifying perceived negative consequences. We argue that empirical research and in-depth engagement with ethical theory and philosophy of education is needed to adequately assess the challenges introduced by AIPSED.
