Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is entitled AI in Learning: Designing the Future. It acknowledges the reality that AI is consequential for societies, organizations, work, and education and that it is becoming more and more interwoven into the cultural activities of everyday life. Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the world. However, the title also raises the big questions of what is learning with AI, who has the final responsibility for the quality of learning, and who will design the future of learning? AI opens enormous opportunities to education and learning and expands educational settings for learning in and beyond the traditional classroom. However, many innovations are still in their early stages and need much further research and deeper understanding of what the human roles and responsibilities are with respect to AI's integrations into learning environments and educational systems. For advancing safe and responsible routes to AI in learning and education, the researchers in Finland, the USA, and China have wanted to introduce developments in the latest research on AI in Learning with innovative practices and new solutions. Many chapters provide pedagogical applications and practices demonstrating how to use AI at different levels of education and, in working-life as lifelong learning settings. Cooperation between the three nation's researchers began in a series of joint triangle conferences for Intelligent Digital Tools for Learning and Education, organized at Stanford University in October 2018, the University of Helsinki in February 2019, and Beijing Normal University in June 2019. Thereafter, because of COVID-19, the cooperation has continued virtually. The book provides cutting-edge research and new scenarios for researchers, companies, policymakers, and all users including teachers and other education stakeholders. It also makes visible that AI has many ethical challenges. The penetration of AI in human life is connected to ethics, security, and human rights and presents important new challenges to research, policymaking, and governance as well as to companies with their AI businesses. Learning and education as fundamental human processes and cultural activities centrally concerned with human values are even more connected with ethical questions than many other more technical applications.
