Our approach to AI is rooted in a commitment to academic integrity, student privacy, and ethical responsibility. We believe AI should be a tool that enhances human potential, not replaces it. Therefore, our core values guide all policy decisions:
Human-Centered Learning: AI tools should be used to augment teaching and learning, supporting critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving.
Equity and Access: We are committed to ensuring that all students have equitable access to AI tools and the knowledge to use them effectively, avoiding any technology that might reinforce existing biases.
Safety and Privacy: The privacy and security of student and educator data are paramount. Only approved tools that comply with strict data protection standards will be utilized.
Academic Integrity: The integration of Generative AI (GenAI) introduces new complexities to maintaining transparency and ethical practice in creative and academic work.
Transparency and Trust: All use of AI by educators and students must be transparent. We will clearly communicate when and how AI is used, fostering an environment of trust.
