AI Ethics & Policy

LanguageGems uses artificial intelligence in the following ways:

• AI Insights: Analyzing student performance data to provide actionable insights for teachers
• AI Marking: Automated assessment of student responses with human oversight
• Adaptive Learning: Personalizing content difficulty and pacing based on individual progress
• Content Generation: Creating practice exercises and worksheets tailored to curriculum needs
• Speech Recognition: Evaluating pronunciation and speaking exercises
• Natural Language Processing: Understanding and responding to student inputs

Our AI systems process student educational data only as authorized by schools:

• Performance Data: Game scores, exercise completion, assessment results
• Learning Patterns: Time spent on activities, skill progression, difficulty preferences
• Error Analysis: Common mistakes, areas needing reinforcement
• Engagement Metrics: Activity participation, session duration
• Curriculum Alignment: Progress against learning objectives

Teachers and schools maintain full control over AI features:

• Review & Override: Teachers can review and override any AI-generated insights or assessments
• Suggestions Only: All AI recommendations are presented as suggestions to support teaching
• Educational Authority: Teachers remain the final authority in all educational decisions
• Feedback Loop: Teachers can provide feedback to improve AI accuracy
• Transparency: Clear explanations of how AI insights are generated
• Opt-Out Options: Schools can disable AI features if preferred

We are committed to ensuring our AI systems are fair and unbiased:

• Regular testing for bias across different demographic groups
• Diverse training data that represents various learning styles and backgrounds
• Ongoing monitoring of AI outputs for potential discriminatory patterns
• Transparent reporting of AI system limitations and known biases
• Continuous improvement based on feedback and bias detection

We strive to make our AI systems transparent and understandable:

• Clear explanations of how AI insights are generated
• Documentation of AI model capabilities and limitations
• Regular updates on AI system improvements and changes
• Open communication about AI decision-making processes
• Training resources to help educators understand AI features

AI processing adheres to our strict privacy and security standards:

• All AI processing occurs within secure, encrypted environments
• Student data is never used for commercial AI model training
• AI models are trained only on appropriately licensed educational content
• Regular security audits of AI systems and data handling
• Compliance with GDPR, COPPA, and other relevant privacy regulations

We acknowledge the following limitations of our AI systems:

• AI insights are probabilistic and may not always be accurate
• AI systems may have biases despite our mitigation efforts
• AI-generated content should be reviewed by qualified educators
• AI assessments are supplementary to, not replacements for, human judgment
• System performance may vary across different languages and contexts
