OUR WORK

Policy Frameworks

The work of the EDSAFE centers around the SAFE Benchmarks Framework as we engage stakeholders to align equitable outcomes for all learners and improved working experiences for dedicated and innovative educators. We intend to clarify the urgency and specific areas of need to prevent failures in data management that compromise the potential for how responsible AI can be a lever for equity and innovation while protecting student privacy. Frameworks and benchmarks are important to innovation as a means of targeted guidance, focusing disparate efforts towards shared objectives and outcomes and ensuring the development of appropriate guidelines and guardrails.

Fellowship Programs

Women in AI & AI Catalyst

The Women in AI and AI Catalyst Fellowship are year- long programs that support exceptional and impact-minded individuals by providing an outstanding platform to learn and work on questions of AI in education. Fellows have the opportunity to work with world-renowned experts in AI safety, ethics, and policy. They also participate in a rigorous seminar series, where they learn about the latest advances in AI research and discuss the potential impacts of AI on society.

AI Policy Labs Network

The AI Policy Labs are a network of districts nationwide that have come together to develop a "policy stack" - including acceptable use policies, parent communication and consent policies, and professional development resources for their districts. This collaborative effort is a significant step towards leveraging AI in education more effectively and aligned with the SAFE framework.

By working together in an open science approach, the network aims to create a comprehensive policy stack supporting AI's responsible, secure integration in K-12 education by involving experts from various fields.

EDSAFE AI Working Groups

DXtera Institute catalyzed, convened
and incubated the EdSAFE AI Alliance with numerous engaged participants from its inception in 2020 through September 2023. This Alliance emerged as a community engaged in international, collaborative efforts to build trust in the education market for the use of AI.

EDSAFE is now led by global experts in the AI space and InnovateEDU. The EDSAFE AI Alliance brings a powerful network of partners, subject matter experts, technologists, researchers, and practitioners. AI technologies play a pivotal role in our education ecosystems. We want to ensure that the role is equitable and safe.

EDSAFE AI Alliance maintains councils that bring together the foremost experts in industry, research, and practice at the intersection of education and AI. These councils produce resources for the field, serve as advisors and experts, and help break down silos within the education sector and build understanding.
