The UK government has published Generative AI Product Safety Standards, outlining expectations for the safe design and deployment of generative AI products, particularly in educational contexts. The guidance is intended to support developers, suppliers, and institutions in assessing and implementing AI systems responsibly.
The standards address areas such as intended use, content safeguards, data protection, transparency, governance, and monitoring, alongside considerations related to learners’ cognitive, emotional, and social wellbeing. While primarily aimed at edtech providers, the document can also be useful for educational institutions evaluating AI tools and aligning with existing regulatory and safety frameworks.
