Guiding Principles

Human-Centered

AI must augment human capabilities, critical thinking, and creativity, never replacing human judgment or decision-making in educational contexts. All AI use should begin with human inquiry and culminate in human reflection and insight.

Fair Access

AI tools and education should be accessible to all students, actively mitigating broadband disparities and device availability challenges across Alaska's diverse regions.

Transparency

The functionalities, limitations, and potential biases of AI tools must be clearly communicated to all stakeholders. Explicit disclosure is suggested when AI is used in educational materials or assessments.

Oversight

Clear lines of responsibility for AI tool selection and outcomes are vital. Robust human oversight is mandatory for any decisions that directly impact students, such as grading or disciplinary actions.

Security

Rigorous protection of student data and digital well-being is non-negotiable. This includes protocols against unauthorized sharing of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and compliance with local, state, and federal laws.

Ethical Use

Promote responsible and ethical engagement with AI, fostering an understanding of intellectual property rights, preventing misuse, and building critical evaluation skills for all AI-generated content.

Cultural Responsiveness

AI tools should be critically evaluated and used to affirm, rather than diminish, the diverse cultures of Alaska. Proactive measures must be taken to mitigate algorithmic biases and prevent misinterpretation, misappropriation, or the exclusion of crucial local context.
