                   RQ:   How is AI used in specific areas of educational activities according to
                         the KLASIUS-P classification and which SDGs does it target?

                    At the beginning of 3, all 6 faculties of the University of Ljubljana were
                  invited to participate in the project Artificial intelligence in education at the
                  University of Ljubljana. A total of 54 professors from 13 faculties accepted the
                  invitation in April 3.
                    During the project, the university professors were asked to submit their
                  own practical examples of the use of AI in the pedagogical process. By the
                  end of the project in November 4, a total of 6 practises had been sub-
                  mitted by university teachers from 9 faculties (Faculty of Education, Faculty
                  of Arts, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering, Faculty of Architecture,
                  Biotechnical Faculty, Faculty of Economics and Business, Faculty of Law, Vet-
                  erinary Faculty, Faculty of Health Sciences).
                    In order to collect data on the implementation of AI, university professors
                  were asked to document their practises in comprehensive reports. Each re-
                  port contained detailed information about the use of AI in their courses, in-
                  cluding the course name, faculty, programme of study, number of students
                  enrolled, area of educational activity (KLASIUS-P), a description of how AI was
                  integrated, details of the AI tools used, and an assessment of the positive and
                  negative impact of AI on the course. The minimum length of the report was 
                  pages and the maximum length was 15 pages.
                    The 6 collected examples of the use of AI in the pedagogical process were
                  categorised according to the KLASIUS-P classification (Statistični urad Repub-
                  like Slovenije, 1). The results of the categorisation are shown in Table 1.
                    In order to obtain a coherent identification of the SDGs as described in the
                  3 Agenda for Sustainable Development (15) and a classification of the
                  role of AI (Crompton & Burke, 3) in the reported practices, two researchers
                  separately analysed the 6 reports describing the implementation of AI in the
                  pedagogical process. In this way, a total of 111 pages of reports were analysed
                  independently. To avoid bias, the two researchers agreed on the final identi-
                  fication of the SDGs addressed and the classification of the role of AI imple-
                  mentation in the reports through discussion, reconstruction and agreement,
                  which enabled a 95% inter-rater reliability of the analyzed items.

                  Results
                  The results section is organised according to the two research questions that
                  guide this study. The first question provides contextual information about
                  the research, the second one provides analysis on how AI is used in the peda-
