Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational technology (edtech) in the K–12 space has grown significantly, and schools are being encouraged to adopt AI by a range of actors from states to the federal government to industry. Used well, AI may provide significant educational benefits. But the use of AI in a high-stakes context such as K–12 education also raises concerns about how well these systems will work, whether they will be worth the investment, whether they will introduce bias or other harms, and more. One commonly recommended, broadly endorsed approach to support the responsible use of edtech products that incorporate AI is transparency from the developers and designers of these systems. To better assess the current state of transparency in edtech products in the K–12 context that incorporate AI, the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) has developed a rubric of eight key elements of transparency that contribute to a full picture of an edtech product and can be used to inform decisions such as whether to procure the product and how to use it.
