What auditors, parents and regulators will ask about

5 headline regulations and standards for AI in education

Few of these were written only for AI. All of them apply to it.

US · Student privacy

FERPA

Protects education records at schools and institutions that receive federal funding.

For AI:AI tools processing student records need a valid FERPA exception, contract limits on use, and no training on student data without authorization.

US · Children's privacy

COPPA (amended rule)

FTC rule on collecting personal information from children under 13, with amendments finalized in 2025.

For AI:K-12 AI tools need consent or school authorization, data minimization, retention limits, and separate consent before children's data goes to third parties.

US · Higher-ed security

GLBA Safeguards Rule

Required of institutions in federal student aid programs and reviewed through Federal Student Aid audits.

For AI:AI tools touching financial aid or student account data fall under your written information security program, risk assessment and vendor oversight.

EU · AI regulation

EU AI Act

AI used for admissions, evaluating learning outcomes, assigning education levels or monitoring students during tests is high-risk. Under the AI Omnibus, those obligations apply from December 2027.

For AI:Risk management, data governance, human oversight and transparency for admissions, grading and proctoring AI.

US · Accessibility

ADA Title II Web Accessibility Rule

DOJ rule requiring public colleges, universities and school districts to meet WCAG 2.1 AA for web content and mobile apps.

For AI:AI tutors, chatbots and AI-generated course content delivered to students must be accessible.

Use cases

Where AI meets these rules in education

The AI use cases we see most often, and the requirements that follow them.

AI tutors and learning assistants

Tutors must keep student data out of vendor training, give age-appropriate responses and work for students with disabilities.

FERPACOPPAADA Title II

Admissions, placement and early-alert analytics

Models that rank applicants or flag at-risk students need bias testing, transparency and a human decision-maker.

EU AI Act high-riskTitle VIColorado SB 26-189

Online proctoring and AI-writing detection

These tools can produce false accusations and collect biometric data. They need accuracy testing, appeal paths and privacy controls.

EU AI Act high-riskFERPAIllinois BIPA

Campus GenAI and research

Faculty and staff GenAI use needs data classification rules, approved tools and controls for sensitive and controlled research data.
