Why This Industry Needs AI Governance
K-12 systems, universities, and EdTech vendors are deploying AI for instruction, assessment, admissions, and student services — touching minors, academic integrity, and student data.
Organizations in education increasingly rely on AI for decision-making, automation, service delivery, risk management, and operational efficiency. Without proper governance, AI adoption introduces privacy, security, compliance, operational, reputational, and accountability risks.
