This first-of-a-kind agreement will set a new standard for safe and responsible AI use in schools. We are making these protections available to every school district in the US.
Microsoft and the American Federation of Teachers have established the National AI Safety & Privacy Standard for Schools.
Why it matters
This creates a safeguard against the use of student and teacher data for commercial experiments.
The big picture
Microsoft is expanding its educational AI presence from training partnerships, like the one with Conalep, to establishing national safety standards.
The details
The standard was announced by Brad Smith and AFT President Randi Weingarten. It explicitly states that teachers are not beta testers and schools are not sources for data collection.
