Alina Tugend is an award-winning education reporter. Here is her latest rave on an EdTech innovation:<\/p>\n

In response to the increasing use of artificial intelligence tools in the college admissions process, the National Student Legal Defense Network has issued a \u201cDos and Don\u2019ts of AI in College Application Evaluation.\u201d While AI can be useful in data management and handling routine queries, the report warns that \u201cthe risks of careless adoption are real and consequential. AI tools can introduce or amplify bias, erode applicant trust, and raise serious legal and ethical concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the 10 things to do on the list: complete a written use case analysis and AI impact assessment before deploying tools. Among the \u201cdon\u2019ts\u201d: don\u2019t buy a black box, off-the-shelf product that no one in your office understands. The report says: \u201cIf a vendor cannot explain how its model works (including how it may change and adapt over time and through usage and at user and administrator direction) in terms your staff can evaluate, that is reason enough not to use it.\u201d<\/p>\n
