Central Rivers AEA has introduced new guidelines for using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to ensure they are used safely and ethically. AI has the potential to make our work more efficient and help us better serve schools, but it also comes with risks, especially around data privacy. Please read over the Guidelines for the Use of AI & Emerging Technologies document, but some key takeaways include:
- Security First: Before using any AI tool, staff should evaluate its security features. Always avoid entering personal information or confidential student data into AI tools.
- Transparency: Be open about using AI, especially in meetings or projects. For example, if an AI assistant is active during a Zoom meeting, let others know.
- Ethical Use: Ensure AI is used in a way that aligns with our values – avoiding bias, respecting privacy, and supporting our mission. If you have concerns about the use of AI, reach out to the tech team for guidance.
These guidelines are here to help us navigate the evolving tech landscape responsibly while making the most of AI’s benefits.
