AI for Global Citizenship Education: Bridging Justice, Ethics, and Engagement in the Digital Age

Abstrak

This paper explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in advancing equitable, ethical, and
empowering global citizenship education (GCE). Using a qualitative approach through an
interdisciplinary literature review and case study analysis, this research examines how AI can
support inclusive learning, ethical digital practices, and active learner engagement. The
analysis focuses on three dimensions: equitable access, ethical governance, and learner
engagement. The findings suggest that AI, when applied responsibly, upholding the principles of
inclusivity, transparency, and digital rights protection, can enrich global citizenship education,
and contextualize, reinforcing the values of citizenship education: expanding the right to learn,
fostering ethical discussion, and shaping global awareness in learning practices. However,
concerns remain regarding algorithmic bias, digital inequality, and the importance of critical
pedagogy that emphasizes ethical frameworks and inclusive policies.
