However, the implementation of these safeguards in the classroom is the responsibility of the educator and their institution. AI Foundations does not monitor, supervise, or have access to student interactions with third-party AI tools. Educators must establish and enforce their own safety protocols. See our AI Safety & Responsible Use Guide for detailed recommendations.

Third-party tools may change their features, terms, data practices, or content moderation without notice. Educators should independently verify the suitability of any third-party tool before classroom use.
