The rise of AI in education raises critical ethical questions, particularly around bias, privacy, and the potential for dehumanization in learning environments. This paper explores how Design Thinking can play a pivotal role in ensuring that AI systems deployed in education are ethical, transparent, and human-centered. By leveraging the empathy-driven aspects of Design Thinking, developers and educators can create AI tools that prioritize the well-being and dignity of students. The paper discusses how specific Design Thinking tools, such as stakeholder mapping and user experience (UX) design, can inform the development of ethical AI systems that enhance, rather than detract from, the learning experience. Additionally, the paper presents a framework for continuous ethical reflection throughout the design, implementation, and iteration phases of AI development in education. Through case studies and theoretical analysis, the paper argues for the necessity of embedding ethical considerations at the heart of AI-enhanced educational technologies to ensure that they serve all students equitably.
