UNESCO AI Policy Audit Tool
Evaluate your educational AI policies against UNESCO's AI Framework recommendations
Policy Compliance Progress
0%1. Human-Centered Mindset
Does your policy affirm that AI tools must enhance (not replace) teacher/student agency?
UNESCO Alignment: Human accountability in decision loops (p. 33)
Why it matters: AI should augment human capabilities rather than replace human judgment in educational settings.
Implementation tip: Ensure policies explicitly state that AI tools are decision-support systems, not decision-makers. Include language that requires human oversight for all AI-generated content or recommendations.
2. Data Privacy & Sovereignty
Does your policy explicitly address student/staff data ownership and local data sovereignty laws?
Example gap: Many tools (e.g., ChatGPT) export data to foreign servers
Why it matters: Student and staff data must be protected according to local laws, and institutions should maintain control over how this data is used.
Implementation tip: Create a data registry that tracks where all AI tools store data and ensure compliance with local regulations like GDPR, FERPA, or regional data sovereignty laws. Consider prioritizing tools that offer local data processing options.
