Microsoft's move in the AI school debate: controls over how student data gets used

Microsoft announced a “National AI Safety & Privacy Standard” option for school districts to set enforceable contract rules for student data when using AI products. The standard includes a 72-hour requirement to report breaches once written into a district’s Microsoft agreement. Districts can require protections like bans on using student data to train AI models, prohibit student tracking, require human review for decisions, and may cancel contracts or seek damages if companies break the rules.
