Abstract

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has raised ethical concerns regarding fairness, transparency, and the balance between automation and human-centered learning. This paper proposes an ethical AI framework that incorporates Natural Language Processing (NLP) for bias detection, Reinforcement Learning (RL) for adaptive learning optimization, and Explainable AI (XAI) for transparency and interpretability. The framework utilizes NLP-based statistical fairness metrics to detect biases in AI-generated feedback, RL-based policy learning to optimize personalized educational interventions, and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to ensure transparency in AI-driven recommendations. A multimodal decision-making system integrates these components to provide interpretable AI feedback to students and educators. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in improving fairness, enhancing personalization, and maintaining transparency in AI-powered learning environments. The study highlights the necessity of ethically aligned AI models in education, ensuring both automation efficiency and human-centered decision-making.
