Abstract: (312 Views)
- A comparative analysis of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled higher education (HE) admissions practices in Japan and overseas through a structured review of 73 news articles published in English and Japanese over the past five years.
- Identification of emerging trends, commonalities, and contextual differences in the integration of AI in HE admissions in Japan and overseas.
- Discussion on ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) surrounding AI use in admissions, with an emphasis on the need for context-sensitive policy development and rigorous oversight to ensure equitable and ethical AI adoption.
- A call for HE institutions and researchers to actively engage in shaping responsible AI adoption in admissions practices that enhance fairness and social justice while navigating diverse regional and institutional frameworks.
- This Colloquium paper is a short research-in-progress paper. The findings are presented in greater detail, with URLs to the original news article and an extended discussion in ELSI NOTE No. 62, a bulletin published in Japanese by The University of Osaka Research Center of Ethical, Legal and Social Issues.
