Municipal stakeholder engagement strategies for learning analytics and AI in education: participatory design, accountability and oversight mechanisms

This report was produced in the Summer of 2021 as part of a Research Clinic led by the Berkman Klein Center’s Ethics of Digitalization initiative, in collaboration with the City of Helsinki, their partner Saidot, the Global Network of Internet & Society Centers, and under the patronage of the Federal President of Germany FrankWalter Steinmeier. The aim of the Clinic was to translate best practices and principles concerning the use of AI by public service providers into actionable measures, applied within the context of municipal educational programs.We worked with participants and experts from many disciplines and from across the globe, underpinned by an ethos of interdisciplinary collaboration, mutual learning, and open exchange.
