Guidance for Administrators

Operational Efficiency

• Streamline school operations with tools for scheduling, inventory, energy management, and performance evaluations.

Data Analysis

• Analyze educational data to identify trends in student performance, attendance, and engagement for personalized instruction.

Communication

• Draft communications, deploy chatbots, and provide instant language translation within the school community.

Professional Development

• Tailor professional development and content to individual staff interests and career stages.

Compromising Privacy

• GenAI systems pose risks of collecting sensitive personal data, storing conversations, and tracking learning patterns. Data breaches and misuse are significant concerns if not adequately secured and anonymized.

Surveillance Concerns

• GenAI monitoring raises issues of consent, bias, emotional impact, and potential misuse of data.

Recruitment Discrimination

• GenAI systems trained on biased historical hiring data can perpetuate discriminatory selection practices based on factors like university affiliation, gender, or age.

• Ensure GenAI tools comply with all relevant policies, privacy laws, and ethical standards.
• Educate staff on potential bias in GenAI systems to encourage informed and responsible use.
• Require GenAI tools to disclose how personal data is used to protect confidentiality and prevent misuse. 
• Use GenAI to support—not replace—human judgment. For instance, it may screen out unqualified candidates, but final decisions should be made by people.
