Microsoft Signs 'Iron Clad' Student Privacy Deal with Teachers Unions After NYC AI Ban The recent agreement between Microsoft and two of the largest teachers unions in the US marks a significant turning point in the ongoing debate over AI's role in education.

At the heart of this agreement is the National AI Safety & Privacy Standard, a 30 page document outlining enforceable protections for student data, including restrictions on tracking, training, and companion chatbots.
