The TrustEd Apps Generative AI Data Rubric was developed to provide a foundation for the ethical, productive, and safe use of Gen-AI data in the field of education. It addresses disclosure policies and transparency and encourages the examination of data, such as a declaration that AI is in use, opt-in/opt-out, quality of data sources, bias controls, and data ownership.
This self assessment tool for suppliers currently contains only one section (Privacy Section) and will be expanded by at least one more section to address data quality, validity and ownership, and additional concerns with Gen-AI data practices.
The Gen-AI Rubric - Privacy Section sets expectations for:
- Alerts when Gen-AI is in use
- Options to opt-in or opt-out
- Information about the use of AI in the data privacy policy
- Identification of data sources
- Notification if the AI is internal or a third-party tool and associated data privacy and ownership concerns.
The purpose of The TrustEd Apps Generative AI Data Rubric is to provide:
- A common framework for evaluating and discussing AI data practices.
- A common framework for suppliers to self-assess their organization’s AI usage and use the results to evolve (or mature) data practices.
- A foundation concerning the need to include information about the use of generative AI data within existing privacy and security documents, such as privacy policies, Terms of Service. Alternatively, it could be used to develop AI policies, or start the conversation about creating AI policies.
