NPS offers specific guidance on key aspects of AI usage:
- Accountability: AI tools used for significant evaluations must be reviewed and approved by the district, ensuring ethical application and transparency. Metrics will be set to evaluate these tools and ensure they meet the district's educational standards.
- Privacy and Security: Personal information must not be entered into unapproved AI applications. Staff and students will be trained on data privacy best practices to protect themselves and the community. The district will adopt encryption standards, require vendors to comply with strict data protection guidelines, and conduct regular audits to ensure data safety.
- AI Surveillance: AI-enabled surveillance systems will only be used with district approval, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations and ethical considerations. Guidelines will be reviewed regularly to align with best practices and address any concerns.
