Learn More About Our Safety Practices
We’ve built safeguards into every stage of AI development and classroom use. Here’s how we keep students, teachers, and data safe: · Rigorous Evaluation – Every AI feature is tested against the EdSafe AI SAFE Framework for Safety, Fairness, Efficacy, and Overall quality before release.
- Human Oversight – Real people review AI behavior during development to ensure outputs align with learning goals and classroom appropriateness.
- Data Privacy – No external PII sharing; all student interactions are stored and handled according to strict privacy standards.
- Clear, Transparent Policies – Teachers and administrators always know what data is collected, how it’s used, and how to manage AI settings.
- Age-Appropriate Safeguards – Filters, content limits, and use restrictions ensure the AI experience is suitable for each learner’s age group.

FAQs
-
ANSWER: We use a controlled, education-first implementation of AI with strict guardrails to keep students safe. Our systems detect and anonymize any personally identifiable information (PII) before it’s processed, so private details are never shared with the AI model. This means students can interact naturally while staying protected. All AI features are built on secure, vetted technology.
-
ANSWER: Wayside aligns our AI practices with the EdSafe AI SAFE Framework, which sets high standards for safe, accountable, fair, and effective AI in education. This means we:
- Set clear boundaries on how AI can be used.
- Audit and monitor for safety, accuracy, and bias.
- Foster transparency so educators know how and why AI is used.
- Empower teachers to control AI features in their classrooms.
Following this framework ensures our AI enhances learning without replacing teacher expertise.
-
ANSWER: Teachers have full visibility when AI is active and can decide exactly how to use it. They can enable or disable AI at the activity or class level, and choose when it’s the right fit for their students. This flexibility allows AI to support — not dictate — the instructional flow.
-
ANSWER: Student interaction data is used only to power the learning activity and provide feedback to the student and teacher. We do not use student data to train external AI models. When appropriate, anonymized and aggregated data may be used internally to improve the learning experience and ensure our AI tools are working as intended.
-
ANSWER: Yes. Teachers can turn off AI for individual activities or entire classes. In some cases, administrators can configure AI settings for larger groups, depending on product integration. This ensures AI use always matches class needs, student comfort, and district policy.
