The EDSAFE AI Alliance, alongside a coalition of education and technology organizations, has shared recommendations with the incoming administration on how the United States can lead in AI innovation while prioritizing the needs of students and educators. These suggestions emphasize the critical role of AI in transforming education, from improving teaching practices to preparing students for the AI-driven workforce of tomorrow. Key principles include advancing AI that is safe, accountable, fair, and transparent, ensuring student and educator needs remain central, and addressing potential risks associated with AI technologies.
Among the recommendations are steps to support AI adoption in education, enhance AI literacy for students and educators, and prepare the workforce for AI integration. The letter also underscores the importance of protecting student privacy, investing in digital access, and establishing infrastructure for safe and equitable AI use. A proposed White House Summit on the Responsible Use of AI in Schools aims to bring educators, policymakers, and industry leaders together to guide evidence-based AI deployment while addressing concerns like privacy and bias. By prioritizing these initiatives, the U.S. can secure its position as a global leader in technology innovation and education.
