AI in Education – with a Finnish Approach

Pedagogical AI is a community-driven initiative promoting the use of artificial intelligence in education ethically, responsibly, and pedagogically. Our approach supports teachers and enriches learning while staying true to Finnish values, the national curriculum, and a trust-based school culture.

Our Mission

Supporting teachers and students in the age of AI

Our mission is to ensure that AI strengthens — not weakens — education. We empower teachers and schools to understand and use AI in ways that support learning and uphold professional and educational integrity.

Pedagogical AI puts learning, teacher expertise, and student well-being at the center. We collaborate with educators to make AI accessible, ethical, and pedagogically sound.

What is Pedagogical AI?

Pedagogical AI is a mindset, not just a tool. It is designed to enhance learning rather than automate it. At its core, it values:

  • Teacher-led decision-making
  • Active and critical student engagement
  • Tools that support — not replace — human interaction

When used intentionally, AI can support planning, provide timely feedback, and personalize learning — all without removing the essential human element from teaching.

Pedagogical AI empowers teachers to design meaningful tasks, deliver real-time feedback, and adapt learning paths — while keeping students actively engaged and ensuring that the teacher remains the guide.

Why Pedagogical AI?

AI is entering classrooms — but many tools are created without educational values in mind. Too often, they prioritize automation over depth, and speed over understanding.

Pedagogical AI exists to change that. We stand for:

  • Student-centered, thinking-enhancing use of AI
  • ✅ Tools that respect teachers’ professional judgment
  • ✅ Clear, curriculum-aligned guidance for schools

Why This Matters

When used carelessly, AI can do more harm than good. It can undermine what matters most in education:

  • Creativity
  • Critical thinking
  • Academic integrity

👉 It’s not enough that AI worksit must work for learning.
