Junta on March guidance protections and guardrails
Junta details the March guidance requirements: AI tools using student data must pass the IRMA privacy review, student data cannot train AI models, human review of AI outputs is required, and AI cannot replace educator judgment in high-stakes decisions. Student use requires educator guidance and critical evaluation.
The March guidance laid an important foundation for our protections.
This guidance requires AI tools that use student data to go through New York City Public Schools'privacy and security review process,
prohibits student data from being used to train AI models, requires human review of AI outputs, and makes clear that AI cannot replace student teaching, I'm sorry, student teaching,
educator judgment, or qualified human decision-making in high-stakes decisions about students.
It also makes clear that any student use of AI requires educator guidance, critical evaluation of outputs, and age-appropriate context.
