The transparency question is so interesting to me, especially the point about alignment across an institution. If we're asking students to document and disclose how they use AI, it makes sense that the expectation should extend to the people designing their learning experiences too. I'd love to see this thinking trickle down to K-12, where parents are navigating AI in their kids' classrooms with almost no transparency about how schools themselves are using it behind the scenes.
thank you Rebecca! Yeah--I keep thinking that especially while we're still figuring out the norms of these technologies, I really want to be clear about AI use to help us all figure out how we're using them and what that means for everyone in the whole educational enterprise!
Absolutely. And I think parents are a missing piece of that conversation. Schools and educators are figuring out norms, but families are making these decisions in a vacuum. That's a lot of what I'm trying to work on.
The transparency piece is one that doesn't get enough airtime in AI policy discussions. There's a huge difference between banning AI use, allowing it without acknowledgment, and actively requiring disclosure. The disclosure framework actually builds the kind of metacognitive habits that matter - students who have to articulate what AI did and what they did on top of it are doing something genuinely different from students who just submit outputs. Really valuable contribution to the conversation here.
