●      Use AI to make decisions that could have a negative impact on students, such as grading or placement.

○      Just like how high stakes testing doesn’t solely determine decisions about student or teacher outcomes, AI won’t be used either to predict those outcomes.

●      Use AI to create biased or discriminatory content.

○      AI is only as good as the data that goes into the algorithms, making sure that the content you create is reviewed for bias

●      Use AI to invade students' privacy.

○      Security of student data is of the utmost concern. Do not share personally identifiable information on AI platforms.

●      Use AI to spread misinformation or propaganda.

○      Instead, teach students to identify and use prior knowledge to inform how they interact with content.

Overall, AI has the potential to be a powerful tool for educators. However, it is important to use AI responsibly and ethically. Educators need to be aware of the potential risks and benefits of AI, and they need to take steps to mitigate the risks.
