Accelerate Learning Inc. has joined the EDSAFE AI Industry Council, becoming part of a global initiative to ensure that the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in education is equitable and safe. The industry council is part of the EDSAFE AI Alliance, the leading cross-sector voice for the responsible and safe adoption and use of AI in education.

The EDSAFE AI Industry Council, made up of leading education and technology companies, has grown to more than 100 members since launching this spring. Members are committed to ensuring that AI and related technologies—in their own companies’ solutions and across the education landscape—are safe, accountable, fair, and effective (SAFE) and aligned to the SAFE Framework. The SAFE Framework aligns with the U.S. Department of Education’s report, Designing for Education with Artificial Intelligence: An Essential Guide for Developers.

As a member of the EDSAFE AI Industry Council, Accelerate Learning will inform, support, and advocate for smart, EDSAFE-aligned public policy and principles while also ensuring that its own policies, practices, and product solutions are consistent with the SAFE Framework.

“Accelerate Learning has always been committed to the safe and effective use of technology in education, and AI is no different,” said Frankey Goss, director of information security and data privacy for Accelerate Learning. “We’re excited to be part of this effort to craft the future of AI in education. By exchanging information and ideas, we can find new ways to harness the power of AI to benefit students, educators, and families. We can also give our customers a voice, sharing their wisdom and insights as we work with our fellow industry council members to guide the use of AI in education.”
