Microsoft partnered with the American Federation of Teachers and the United Federation of Teachers to establish a legally binding AI privacy standard. School districts can incorporate these protections into formal contracts with the technology company.
The standard prohibits using student or educator data to train AI models. It also bans student monitoring and requires human involvement in all AI-driven decisions.
Microsoft committed to providing clear explanations of its AI products to educators and parents. These protections become available for school district adoption on November 1.
