Chapter 2: Building Ethical, Equitable Policies Together constituents can ethically and equitably implement this vision widely? In the Learning, Teaching, and Assessment sections of this report, we elaborate on elements of an educational vision grounded in what today’s learners, teachers, and educational systems need, and we describe key insights and next steps required. Below, we articulate four key foundations for framing these themes. These foundations arise from what we know about the effective use of educational technology to improve opportunity, equity, and outcomes for students and also relate to the new Blueprint. 2.2. Foundation 1: Center People (Parents, Educators, and Students) Education-focused AI policies at the federal, state, and district levels will be needed to guide and empower local and individual decisions about which technologies to adopt and use in schools and classrooms. Consider what is happening in everyday lives. Many of us use AI-enabled products because they are often better and more convenient. For example, few people want to use paper maps anymore; people find that technology helps us plan the best route to a destination more efficiently and conveniently. And yet, people often do not realize how much privacy they are giving up when they accept AI-enabled systems into their lives. AI will bring privacy and other risks that are hard to address only via individual decision making; additional protections will be needed. P a g e | 11
