The Ethics of Generative AI in Education
Punya Mishra & Marie Heath

This interactive framework organizes the ethical landscape across four nested scales, revealing how pressures at one level cascade into conditions at others.

I. GlobalPlanetary Forces & Economic Systems
II. InstitutionalOrganizations & Governance
III. EpistemicKnowledge & Pedagogy
