Balancing Innovation and Privacy: Smart Use of Search and Assistant in Schools
As AI becomes a standard part of modern education, knowing when—and for whom—to enable it is key. Search and Assistant tools can empower educators and staff with faster answers, smarter workflows, and better access to resources. However, enabling these tools for everyone can create unnecessary privacy risks and data exposure.
For school technology directors , the best approach is “On for some” —granting access only to those who genuinely need AI-driven assistance, such as administrative teams, IT staff, or research-focused educators. This selective activation ensures your school benefits from AI efficiency while maintaining strong data privacy and compliance standards.
At Get Set Tech , we help schools make smart, secure technology decisions. With the right balance of innovation and protection, schools can leverage AI tools responsibly—supporting progress without compromising student safety.
