Responsible AI in Education
8 Essential Rules
Why AI Ethics Matter in Education
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into educational environments, it's crucial to establish clear guidelines that protect students, maintain academic integrity, and ensure equitable access to learning opportunities. These 8 essential rules provide a framework for responsible AI use across all educational contexts.
1. Create, then curate
Never submit raw AI output. Draft with AI to spark ideas, but refine the work in your own words and style.
💡 Tip: Use AI as a brainstorming partner, not a replacement for your creativity.
2. Fact-check twice
Verify every date, statistic and citation against textbooks, peer-reviewed journals and official ministry portals.
🔍 Remember: AI can hallucinate facts. Always verify with trusted sources.
3. Safeguard student data
Share only anonymised information. Follow PDPA and your school's ICT policies before uploading files or prompts.
🛡️ Privacy First: Student data protection is non-negotiable.
4. Credit your co-author
If AI shapes wording, imagery or structure, acknowledge the tool—just like you cite books or websites.
📝 Academic Integrity: Transparency builds trust and maintains standards.
5. Hunt for bias
Review language for stereotypes or cultural blind spots. Ensure outputs are inclusive and accessible to all learners.
🌍 Inclusivity: AI can perpetuate biases. Be the filter for fairness.
6. Balance screen time
Blend AI tasks with discussion, group projects and offline creativity for healthier learning routines.
⚖️ Holistic Learning: Technology enhances, but doesn't replace human interaction.
7. Enable child-safe settings
Teachers should preview tools; parents should supervise younger learners. Activate age-appropriate filters.
👨👩👧👦 Child Safety: Adult supervision and appropriate filters are essential.
