Artificial Intelligence in ECSD
Guiding Principles for AI Use in ECSD
The following principles guide the appropriate and safe use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in Eagle County School District. We commit to adopting processes, procedures, and agreements to uphold each principle.
We use AI as a tool to help all students reach their educational goals.
AI has the potential to help us reach our district’s goals, including improving student learning, teacher effectiveness, and school operations. We aim to make AI tools universally accessible.
We value AI Literacy.
Students and staff will build their AI Literacy skills in order to utilize AI tools responsibly and ethically. Critical evaluation of AI responses, paying special attention to inaccuracies, persuasive tone, and bias, is essential when using AI tools.
We reaffirm adherence to existing policies and regulations.
AI use will align with policies and procedures around protecting student safety, data privacy, and accessibility.
We maintain human oversight when using AI.
When partnering with AI, we maintain human oversight throughout the entire process (Human In → Human Out). AI tools can serve as a thought partner but do not replace the critical thinking responsibilities of students, teachers, or administrators.
We use AI with integrity and honesty.
Students will be truthful in giving credit to AI sources and tools when submitting work that reflects their learning.
We strive to monitor, review, and evaluate our district’s use of AI.
Understanding that AI and technologies are evolving rapidly, we strive to monitor, review, and evaluate our district’s use of AI to adjust our procedures, practices, and agreements accordingly.
