Responsible, Ethical, and Effective Responsible Use Policies: Implementing Generative AI

Wednesday, April 2, 2025
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM PT
Location: 401 / Chelan
Innovative Technologies

Target Audience: Small/Under-Resourced District Leaders; Large/Medium District Leaders; Instructional/Educational Technology Leaders

There is a clear need for making sense of how Generative AI (GenAI) and additional emerging technologies is being integrated in schools and districts across the United States and the implications for students, educators, families, and the broader school community. Join us in a conversation with leading district leaders about how their districts continue shaping policies and guidance around Gen AI to best meet the needs of their specific district community. The panel will share their experiences in sensemaking around GenAI in education that have informed the development of sample and exemplar responsible use policies (RUPs) that center responsibility, ethics and effectiveness.

Key Take Aways:

  • Attendees will hear and ask questions from their peers about the work that they are doing to incorporate GenAI and additional emerging technologies in their existing AUPs, with a specific focus on keeping equity, ethics, and responsibility in mind to ensure that everyone in the school ecosystem is protected.
  • Attendees will learn about the ways that district leaders can engage with their school ecosystem to hear from teacher, student, family, and community understanding of AI and how they are using it both personally and for education. They will use this information to guide their policy development.
  • Attendees will learn about the six guidance topics of RUPs, with a focus on AI Literacy and the Digital Promise AI Literacy framework of “understand, evaluate, and use.”
