The guidelines were developed in collaboration with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education and the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation. The guidelines aim to ensure that AI is used ethically and responsibly in educational settings.

These statements include: 1) AI should be used to enhance human capabilities, not replace them. 2) AI should be transparent and explainable. 3) AI should be used ethically and responsibly. 4) AI should be accessible and inclusive.

“We’re not going to be able to control that.” The division has been working on a policy for several months, but it’s not ready for implementation. The policy would require students to sign a consent form before using AI tools. The division is also considering a parental consent form. The policy is still in development, and the division is seeking input from parents and teachers.

“You have to be selective.” The division has been working on a new AI tool that could help with this problem. The tool, which is still in development, would use machine learning to identify potentially harmful AI sites and block them before they can cause any damage. Tebay believes this tool could be a game-changer for the division. “If we can develop a tool that can accurately identify and block harmful AI sites, it would be a huge step forward in our efforts to protect the internet,” she said.

AI tools are rapidly evolving, and their integration into educational settings is transforming the teaching landscape. This evolution presents both opportunities and challenges for educators.

“We have to have a plan for how do we maintain the devices, how do we maintain the software, and how do we maintain the data.” Maintaining the longevity and functionality of devices, software, and data is a critical aspect of any long-term plan for technology management. This multifaceted approach ensures that technology assets remain operational, secure, and up-to-date over time. Devices, whether they are computers, servers, or mobile devices, require regular maintenance to prevent wear and tear.
