Responsible AI principles
A practical foundation for school discussion
Purpose
AI use should begin with a clear educational or organisational purpose rather than the availability of a tool.
Human Oversight
People remain accountable for reviewing outputs, making decisions and considering potential consequences.
Privacy and Security
Personal, confidential and sensitive information requires appropriate protection and approved handling.
Accuracy and Reliability
AI-generated content should be checked for factual accuracy, relevance, currency and contextual suitability.
Fairness and Inclusion
Schools should consider bias, accessibility, representation and the potential for unintended disadvantage.
Transparency
Relevant stakeholders should understand when and how AI contributes to important work or decisions.
Academic Integrity
Expectations should clarify acceptable assistance, acknowledgement, authorship and independent learning.
Review and Improvement
AI approaches should be monitored and updated as evidence, technology and applicable requirements change.
Proposed implementation pathway
