A note from YIS about their AI policy resources:
We have developed an AI Policy and AI Guidance documents to support and guide students and staff in their use of AI. These documents, which are shared below, outline our guiding principles and inform how we use AI as adults, while also teaching students to become critical, thoughtful users of AI. We acknowledge that adopting new technology and navigating the changes it brings can be challenging. However, we believe it is essential to approach these challenges proactively by learning about AI, understanding how it works, critically evaluating its usefulness and limitations, and considering its potential impact on the world.
Our AI Policy provides clear guidance for community members, including students, staff, leaders, and parents, regarding their roles and responsibilities when learning about and using AI. The AI Guidance document offers practical examples of AI tools, guidelines for responsible use by staff and students, and reminders about key considerations such as bias, data privacy, and environmental impacts. Additionally, our academic integrity policy has been updated to reflect the ways AI has influenced learning, assessment, and copyright.
We encourage you to explore these documents in detail, as our staff have done, and as our students will do in the new year. While there are more questions than answers about how AI will shape education and society, we are committed to working together to address these uncertainties. Our aim is to empower our students to navigate and thrive in a world increasingly influenced by Artificial Intelligence.
