Human rights cities and good administration

In recent years, analyses and debates on Artificial Intelligence (AI) have reached a significant percentage in the realm of universities and education in general. The reason is not hard to understand, as the educational field is one of the most affected – or, more accurately, one of the most influenced – in its practices by the emergence of these technological tools. It is also easily noticeable that governments – as well as relevant ministries – are not fully prepared for what AI has brought, and even less so for what the future will offer us. Perhaps certain types of appointments to leadership positions – based on something other than professional competence – create even more problems in education, because a legal (administrative) system cannot function if those who enact regulations do not practically encounter a part of the challenges of reality. In this perspective, I have chosen for this study a specific AI tool – named social robot, which will play an important role in the future of education, akin to that of teachers. Therefore, an initial perspective on education and its development with the help of these AI tools is essential to consider, in the light of a wave of changes affecting the human mind and its learning capabilities. Since education is an aspect of the public institutions system, regulated by administrative law norms, it is important to better understand the challenges posed by the new regulations on learning that will emerge in this decade, in relation to technologies and changes in the types of studies offered by educational units.
