Styrelsen for It og Læring (STIL) (the Danish Agency for IT and Learning) has just published a mini-guide to make it easier for teachers, school leaders and other staff to assess whether the use of a specific AI solution is lawful. The mini-guide is a practical supplement to the earlier guidance on the lawful use of AI, which was primarily aimed at legal specialists and compliance officers.

The guide includes three case studies:

  • AI for feedback on student assignments
  • AI tools to detect cheating
  • AI-based facial recognition for attendance registration.

The mini-guide has been developed in collaboration with LISSI-netværket (the LISSI network) and Styrelsen for Undervisning og Kvalitet (STUK) (the Danish Agency for Education and Quality), which had requested practical, day-to-day examples.

As part of the materials, STIL has also prepared an Excel document that can be used as a guidance tool for the risk assessment of AI systems.

The mini-guide also makes it clear that the school's leadership has the final responsibility for how and when new AI tools are put into use.
