Responsible AI
We teach AI, so how we use it on our own programs has to hold up. These are the controls we work to.
AI Transparency & Disclosure
You are told when AI has materially contributed to a program, before it affects you.
AI Accuracy & Reliability
A human subject-matter expert checks AI-assisted material before it reaches you.

AI-supported material is reviewed for stereotype, exclusion and cultural fit, and audited on a schedule.
AI Data Protection & Privacy
The additional controls that apply whenever an AI workflow touches learner or client information.
AI Human Oversight

AI Learner Safeguarding
Protecting learners from avoidable harm in AI-supported learning, with a human route always open.
Quality & Governance
Who is accountable for course quality, how content is approved and how we measure whether it worked.
