Prof Jim's Ethical AI Policy
At Prof Jim, we are committed to the responsible development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational content creation. Our policy is grounded in principles of transparency, accountability, fairness, and respect for human dignity, drawing inspiration from leading ethical AI frameworks and educational guidelines.
1. Human Oversight and Content Accuracy
-
Services Work Review: For services work we perform, we carefully review the generated AI content before offering it to students, ensuring it adheres to our quality and ethical standards. In cases where AI-generated content cannot be reviewed by a human before release, like with AI coaches, we commit to conducting rigorous testing to assess the prompt and AI model’s quality and suitability for our audience.
-
SaaS Client Responsibility: For our Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) tool, we request that our clients carefully review the generated AI content before offering it to students. This ensures that the content meets educational standards and aligns with the specific needs of their learners. In cases where AI-generated content cannot be reviewed by a human before release, like with AI coaches, we request our clients to conduct rigorous testing to assess the prompt and AI model’s quality and suitability for our audience. We provide them methodologies for this purpose.
2. Ethical Use of AI Avatars
-
Consent for Avatars: We seek explicit permission from individuals or their estates before creating AI-generated avatars of persons who have passed away within the last 80 years. This practice ensures respect for personal likenesses and cultural sensitivities.
-
Cultural Sensitivity: Particularly in cases involving Indigenous or culturally significant figures, we consult with relevant communities to obtain consent and ensure respectful representation.
3. Commitment to Fairness and Non-Discrimination
-
Bias Mitigation: We actively work to identify and eliminate biases in our AI models, ensuring that our educational content is inclusive and equitable.
-
Inclusive Design: Our AI systems are designed to be accessible to all learners, regardless of background, ability, or circumstance.
4. Transparency and Accountability
-
Clear Communication: We disclose the use of AI in content creation and provide users with information on how AI contributes to their learning experience.
-
Feedback Mechanisms: Users are encouraged to provide feedback on AI-generated content, which is reviewed to improve accuracy and relevance.
5. Data Privacy and Security
-
User Data Protection: We adhere to stringent data privacy standards, ensuring that user data is collected, stored, and used responsibly.
-
Compliance with Regulations: Our practices comply with applicable data protection laws and regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where relevant.
