Protecting Data and Personal Identifiable Information & Records from Generative AI

Personal Information and Records:
Navigating the complex landscape of utilizing AI tools for grading, reporting, and analysis in an educational context, while safeguarding Personally Identifiable Information (PII), necessitates a meticulous adherence to legal and ethical compliance. Everyone should be committed to the principle of data minimization, ensuring that only the most necessary data is shared with AI tools, and when shared to a tool for processing/analysis, the data must be anonymized or pseudonymized to add an additional layer of protection to student identities. When considering a new AI tool, conduct an assessment of the vendor's terms of service and their compliance with data protection laws. Select tools that neither utilize your prompt submissions for model training nor retain your data post-session, and that assure your submissions/responses are not shared with other users or external parties.

About Data Ownership:
Unlike data that you share with chatbot tools like ChatGPT or other LLMs, the data in Google Workspace for Education accounts belongs to the school, not Google. Google does not own, sell, or share the data stored in our accounts. Importantly, because the school owns the data, it is not included in data sets provided for AI training. Google does not use data from any of our staff and student Google Workspace for Education accounts for machine learning or AI training purposes. Information on protections of Workspace data from AI tool training can be found on their Privacy Commitments for Workspace Users page.
