In our years of implementing AI solutions, we’ve repeatedly encountered the depth of ethical implications that some projects carry. When the Erasmus+ Ethical Engineer project approached us with the mission to help professors embed ethics into their AI curriculum, we saw an opportunity to share our practical experience. As part of this mission, together with our educational partners across Europe, we’ve developed a Digital Toolbox – 15 carefully vetted tools that bring ethical AI use into the classroom.

Practical Tools for AI Education
Goblin Tools
Goblin Tools helps users break down complex tasks into manageable steps and analyze workload, with features specifically designed for neurodivergent users. Teachers can use it to make learning materials more accessible. Beyond education, any business looking to make their workflows more inclusive and efficient can benefit from understanding how Goblin Tools approaches task management and user adaptation.
Read&Write
Read&Write is a literacy support tool that can transform text into speech, simplify complex language, and assist with writing, proof-reading and comprehension. In educational institutions, it can be used to support diverse learning needs. For you, this tool can help make documentation and communications accessible to everyone.
Interactive Learning Tools
Perplexity
Perplexity analyzes questions and generates comprehensive, source-cited responses. Teachers and students can use it to explore how AI can provide transparent, verifiable information, making it invaluable for research. Organizations can use this as a model for maintaining credibility by clearly showing sources and reasoning processes.
Mentimeter
Mentimeter creates interactive presentations with real-time polling and feedback features. In education, it can be used to create engaging classroom activities and to gather and analyze student input ethically. Organizations can also learn how to collect and use feedback data responsibly while maintaining user privacy and engagement.
Jitsi
Jitsi offers secure video conferencing without requiring personal data or accounts, allowing universities to use it for remote learning and businesses – for secure online meetings.
Course Design Tools
Mindsmith
Mindsmith helps educators create and share customized learning content using generative AI, ensuring materials respect intellectual property and maintain transparency. Organizations can also use this tool to develop their own training and communication materials ethically.
Diffit
Diffit helps teachers adapt learning materials for different comprehension levels while preserving core meaning. It can use existing curriculums or generate source-cited materials in various grade-levels and languages. You can use it yourself to reach diverse audiences effectively.
Assessment and Feedback Tools
Ziplet
Ziplet gives teachers a way to collect quick, focused feedback while protecting student privacy. It can be used to increase student engagement and check their understanding and progress. Organizations can also use this same tool to gather feedback efficiently and securely.
Poll Everywhere
Poll Everywhere enables teachers to run interactive polls and engage students in real time with built-in privacy features. It’s equally effective for organizations running meetings, presentations, or training sessions.
Development and Implementation Tools
Google Teachable Machine
Teachable Machine makes it easy to create and experiment with machine learning models, showing potential biases and limitations along the way. It’s a practical tool for teaching and learning about AI model development. Companies starting their AI journey can also use it to test ideas and understand bias detection.
Ethical OS Toolkit
The Ethical OS Toolkit offers straightforward frameworks for assessing the long-term impacts of technology. In the classroom, it helps structure discussions and evaluations of ethical implications. Any organization developing AI can use these same frameworks to evaluate their projects.
Deon
Deon brings ethics into data science through practical checklists. It helps teachers show students how to build ethical considerations into their work from the start. Development teams can use these ready-made checklists to keep ethics at the forefront of their projects.
Looking Forward
These tools demonstrate how ethical considerations can be naturally integrated into AI development. Whether in education or industry, they show that ethical AI isn’t about limiting capability – it’s about building better, more trustworthy solutions.
The Digital Toolbox will continue to evolve as we gather feedback from educators and students. We invite professionals, educators, and developers to explore these tools and join us in advancing ethical AI development. Together, we can ensure that the next generation of AI solutions serves human needs while respecting human values.
