Microsoft has established an enforceable AI privacy standard for schools, effective November 1, 2026. This standard, developed in partnership with the American Federation of Teachers and the United Federation of Teachers, prohibits the use of student or educator data for training AI models, selling data for advertising, or employing AI companions. The agreement also mandates human review for high-risk decisions and requires breach reports within 72 hours, with potential for contract termination and damages if violations occur. While currently binding only Microsoft, other AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic have expressed willingness to adopt similar standards. AI
