AI Safety and Trust
Backed by the NSF and IES, we’re focused on AI safety and building an AI platform you can trust.
Rooted in Research, Safe in Security
Backed by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Institute for Education Sciences (IES), our roots stem from the University of Washington College of Education, where our interest is in applied AI, learning science, machine learning, and pedagogy.
Compliant with Soc2, FERPA, COPPA, SOPIPA, & GDPR
Student and teacher privacy is a top priority. Colleague AI is fully compliant with education privacy laws (FERPA, COPPA, and relevant state regulations) as well as GDPR and SOC 2 standards. We use industry best practices in data protection and conduct third-party audits to maintain trust. All user data is handled securely, and the platform offers transparent controls for schools and districts.
Compliant with State Privacy Laws
Keeping student data safe is paramount. We comply with all state student privacy laws.
3rd-Party Audits
We undergo regular 3rd-party audits to ensure compliance with state, federal and international laws.
Regular Compliance Reviews
We conduct regular internal compliance reviews and audits to ensure we’re where we need to be and that you can trust us.
Privacy Impact Analyses
In addition to compliance reviews, we conduct privacy impact analyses.
Responsible Use of AI
Unmonitored, un-tamed use of LLMs for students is not wise in our opinion, which is why we have spent millions researching the best use of AI for students, teachers, and schools. We strongly believe in the responsible use of AI, which is why we were one of the first tools to monitor student chats and send alerts for signals of stress or distress.
Proactive Student Safety
Built-in safety features monitor student well-being. For example, our crisis alert system flags language that indicates emotional distress and immediately notifies the teacher or guardian. This ensures that any student struggling can receive timely support. By combining automated monitoring with trained staff oversight, Colleague AI creates a safe digital learning environment.
Custom District Data Privacy Agreements
We understand your district or school may have its own data privacy requirements and policies. We work with you on custom agreements to meet your needs in this respect.
Unlimited AI Tools for Administrators
AI isn’t just useful for teachers – it can be invaluable for administrators too. Check out some of our AI tools for school admins.
Custom AI for Your Schools
From giving our AI models your own school and district documents, to memory that knows you and your students.
