Today, the users – the parents, the students, the instructors – have no sense of whether a tool is safe and effective, and they tend to be afraid of most AI-enabled tools. To address the problem, Riiid, which specialises in AI-powered education solutions, and DXtera Institute, a non-profit membership organisation that uses technology to lower barriers in education delivery, have formed a cross-sector alliance of companies, non-profit organisations and education technology associations to work on an AI in Education benchmark initiative. The initiative, launched in August, is focused on establishing benchmarks and standards in four critical categories – Safety (security, privacy), Accountability (defining stakeholder responsibilities), Fairness (equity, ethics and lack of bias), and Efficacy (quantified improved learning outcomes). In a word, SAFE educational AI.
