De La Rosa questions Lucero on EdSafe framework and DOE support gaps
De La Rosa asks Lucero whether using the EdSafe AI Alliance framework indicates DOE hasn't provided robust enough support. Lucero explains the tool has been recognized by EdSafe and there have been conversations with NYC DOE and OSP, though the exact relationship is unclear. De La Rosa notes it appears to be another evaluative tool outside DOE's framework.
These are my two bills to increase transparency and accountability, so I thank you for your recommendations to improve the bill.
Elizabeth, I just want to understand something.
You support our schools, and you've chosen to...
Use the EdSafe framework.
So to me, tell me this is true or not, to me that means the DOE has not provided a robust enough support system, so you've chosen to go one step further and use like an outside assessment tool.
Can you talk a little more about this decision?
Yeah, definitely.
So one of our AI tools is used for instructional quality, and it's been recognized by the Edsef AI Alliance.
I'm not 100% sure the relationship that we currently have with them.
Most of my notes are from our team who builds the tool at the Urban Assembly, and
there have been conversations with the NYC DOE and OSP with some of the work that we're doing in our ed tech space.
So hopefully that clarifies some of the questions.
Okay, thank you.
No, it sounds to me like it's another evaluative tool, but we'll look more into that.
Thank you to this panel.
I want to thank this panel for testifying today.
And we'll move on to our next panel.
