Guidance on the legal use of artificial intelligence for educational institutions

Styrelsen for IT og Læring (the Danish Agency for IT and Learning) has just published its guidance for educational institutions on how AI can be used lawfully as part of teaching.

We are still in the process of delving into the 63-page, very thorough technical and legal document. A quick assessment, however, is that the document’s scope and complexity may have the opposite of the intended effect in schools, which had hoped for concrete recommendations for using ChatGPT, Mistral, etc. in teaching.

The guidance appears most valuable as a reference for legal specialists and less as a starting point for practical AI implementation.

As a follow-up to the AI guidance, a mini-guide will be published after the summer break to serve as a more practical and accessible aid for institutions in their day-to-day work.

You can read the entire document below, and going forward we will report on how the sector approaches any implementations.

STIL will be in ongoing dialogue with educational institutions so that the AI guidance best meets their needs.
