AI in Synergy

We believe that as AI develops in K-12, educators will be able to more easily and effectively deliver on the real promise of personalization, make learning more engaging, help close learning gaps, and respond to diverse student needs.

The job of AI in Synergy is to enhance the people and practices that power your district, so everyone involved in your students’ education can focus more time where their expertise is needed most.

Your district decides whether you use AI, where you use it, and how you use it. AI generated content is presented for review and acceptance before it is committed to the database, providing full control over what you decide to use. All AI features obey the Synergy security settings your district has established, so users can only access the AI-related tools relevant to their role and permissions.

The privacy and security of your data will always be our top concern at Edupoint. Synergy never passes personally identifiable information to an AI tool. We use non-identifying tokens in place of data, and Synergy keeps track of the tokens passed back and forth to render the AI output correctly in Synergy with your data exactly where it belongs.

Edupoint approaches AI with the same consideration we give to every new feature we add to Synergy. We prioritize high-value functionality designed to help users save time, work more effectively, optimize learning, improve student outcomes, and respond to changes in the education environment. As the use of AI in education grows, our approach to AI in Synergy will continue maturing to align with our partner districts’ goals as understood through direct feedback and ongoing dialogue.

For opted-in districts, ChatGPT by OpenAI is integrated into Synergy via controlled prompts that are engineered by Edupoint and fully transparent in Synergy code. With generative AI already in use in classrooms and districts, this approach provides a measure of protection and standardization for districts. OpenAI is a trust leader in generative AI, training ChatGPT on a diverse dataset, actively working to identify and mitigate potential bias, and engaging in rigorous testing to ensure that its product aligns with the company’s guidelines for fairness and ethical use.
