Guidelines for Responsible Use of AI in Education Research

Critical Guardrails for Protecting Participant Communities and Research Integrity

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are being adopted at an unprecedented rate, offering powerful new capabilities for researchers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. While these tools can accelerate discovery, they also present significant challenges, such as providing inaccurate or limited information.

We engaged in a community-driven effort to develop guidelines for STEM education researchers so that they can use these novel tools effectively and responsibly. You can find more details about our project by visiting graiser.org.
