Dr. Antti Koskinen is a postdoctoral researcher at Tampere University’s Faculty of Education and Culture, where he leads the faculty’s AI workgroup. His research interests include adaptive game-based learning environments, motivational measurements, and AI in education. Recent work demonstrates that game-based learning can enhance students’ understanding of AI ethics even in brief educational encounters. His current focus extends this work by examining how game-based learning can develop ”constitutive AI ethics”, the competencies citizens need to participate in determining the values guiding AI systems, and how educational institutions can systematically develop such competencies.
