Microsoft has new AI privacy rules for schools
Summary
Microsoft agreed to follow ten safety and privacy principles for AI used in schools, made enforceable through contracts with school districts after major school systems banned student-facing AI. The agreement with teachers' unions includes commitments not to train AI models on student or educator data, to limit data collection, and to explain how these tools work to families in plain language.
