AI regulation in education and training

Education is named as a high-risk area in several instruments: admissions, assessment, proctoring and the allocation of learning are decisions about people, often minors. Institutions are deployers; edtech vendors are providers; the duties on both are listed here with the controls that meet them.

Minors raise the bar

Data-protection law and AI law both treat children as needing stronger safeguards. Notices have to be understood by the people receiving them, oversight has to be real, and emotion recognition and some biometric uses are prohibited outright in some jurisdictions.

Procurement again

Most educational AI is bought, so the contract and the vendor's documentation are the institution's first evidence. The contractual and vendor controls below carry that.

Frequently asked questions

Is automated proctoring regulated?
Under several instruments, monitoring students during tests is a high-risk use, and emotion recognition in education is prohibited in at least one. Check the duty pages for the article.
What should an institution keep?
A register of the systems in use, the vendor documentation, the notices given to students and parents, the human-review procedure for assessments, and the impact assessment where required.
