Microsoft has agreed to a new AI safety and privacy standard designed specifically for schools. The standard addresses the handling of student data and sets parameters for the use of artificial intelligence in classroom settings.

For education buyers, the voluntary commitments made by the company should be formalized into binding contracts. Buyers are advised to secure audit rights and establish clear limits on data retention. The standard also calls for the development of practical guidance aimed at both teachers and families.
