GradeVideo may incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance the educational experience. This policy outlines our approach to AI usage, data handling, and the ethical considerations that guide our AI implementation in educational contexts.
AI-powered video processing for: automatic transcription, caption generation, content moderation, video quality enhancement, and thumbnail generation. These features help make video content more accessible and engaging.
AI tools that assist with: assignment suggestions, rubric recommendations, feedback generation assistance, and content organization. All AI-generated content is reviewed and approved by qualified educators before use.
Machine learning algorithms that provide: engagement analytics, learning pattern recognition, performance insights, and administrative reporting. All analytics are anonymized and aggregated to protect individual privacy.
Our AI systems are trained on publicly available datasets and licensed educational content. We do not use user-generated content (student videos, assignments, or feedback) to train our AI models without explicit, separate consent.
When AI processes user content (e.g., transcription), the data is used solely for that specific purpose and is not retained for model training. Processing occurs within secure environments with appropriate safeguards.
Any data used for AI improvement or analytics is anonymized and aggregated to remove personally identifiable information and educational records, ensuring compliance with FERPA and privacy requirements.
All AI features are designed to support, not replace, human educators. AI assists with administrative tasks and provides insights, but educational decisions and assessments remain the responsibility of qualified teachers.
We regularly test our AI systems for bias and fairness across different demographics, learning styles, and educational contexts. We work to mitigate biases and ensure equitable outcomes for all students.
When AI-generated content or suggestions are provided, we clearly indicate their AI origin. Users are always informed when interacting with AI-powered features and can choose to use or ignore AI suggestions.
All AI-generated educational content, feedback suggestions, and assessment recommendations are reviewed by qualified educators before being presented to students or used in grading.
We maintain human oversight of AI systems through regular audits, quality checks, and educator feedback mechanisms. Users can report AI-generated content that is inaccurate or inappropriate.
Human educators maintain final authority over all educational decisions, grading, and student interactions. AI serves as a supportive tool, not a decision-maker.
Our AI systems are designed to be FERPA-compliant, treating all student work and educational records as protected information. AI processing does not compromise the confidentiality of student education records.
AI features are implemented differently based on student age and grade level, ensuring age-appropriate interactions and maintaining appropriate boundaries between students and AI systems.
Many AI features are opt-in, allowing educational institutions to choose which AI capabilities to enable based on their policies and preferences.
Users can control whether their content is processed by AI features and can request that AI-generated insights or transcriptions be removed from their content.
We provide administrators with visibility into AI usage, data processing, and system performance through administrative dashboards.
AI systems may occasionally produce inaccurate or incomplete results. We clearly communicate the limitations of AI features and encourage users to verify important information.
We continuously monitor and improve AI accuracy through user feedback, performance metrics, and regular system updates. Educator input is essential to this improvement process.
AI systems operate within our secure infrastructure with the same security standards as the rest of our platform. All AI processing complies with educational privacy laws including FERPA, COPPA, and state-specific regulations.
When we use third-party AI services, we ensure they meet our privacy, security, and ethical standards. All subprocessors are carefully vetted and contractually bound to protect educational data and comply with applicable laws.
As AI technology evolves, we may update this policy. We will notify users of significant changes and provide opportunities for feedback on new AI features or policy modifications.
