AI Transparency at Classroom Pulse

We believe in complete transparency about how our AI works, what it can and cannot do, and how we ensure it remains fair, accurate, and beneficial for all students.

How Our AI Works

What Our AI Does

  • Identifies patterns in behavior data to predict potential escalations
  • Suggests evidence-based interventions based on successful outcomes
  • Analyzes environmental factors that may influence behavior
  • Generates insights from aggregated, anonymized data
  • Helps identify trends and progress toward IEP goals

What Our AI Does NOT Do

  • Make decisions about student placement or services
  • Replace professional judgment of educators or BCBAs
  • Diagnose conditions or disabilities
  • Share individual student data across schools or districts
  • Make punitive recommendations or disciplinary decisions

Our AI Principles

Human-Centered

AI augments human expertise, never replaces it. All decisions remain with qualified professionals who understand the full context of each student's needs.

Fair & Unbiased

We continuously monitor for bias, ensure diverse training data, and regularly audit our models to prevent discrimination based on any protected characteristics.

Transparent

We explain how predictions are made, what factors influence them, and provide confidence scores so educators can make informed decisions.

Privacy-First

Student data is never used for advertising, sold to third parties, or shared without explicit consent. We use privacy-preserving techniques in all AI operations.

Accurate

We maintain high accuracy standards, clearly communicate uncertainty, and continuously improve our models based on real-world outcomes and feedback.

Inclusive

Our AI is designed to work effectively for all students, regardless of disability, background, or learning style, promoting equity in education.

Bias Prevention & Fairness

How We Prevent Bias

  • 1.Diverse Training Data: Ensuring representation across all demographics
  • 2.Regular Audits: Monthly fairness assessments across protected groups
  • 3.Expert Review: BCBAs and educators validate recommendations
  • 4.Feedback Loops: Continuous learning from educator corrections
  • 5.Transparency: Clear explanations for all predictions

Fairness Monitoring

We continuously monitor our AI systems for fairness across:

  • • Race and ethnicity
  • • Gender identity
  • • Disability status
  • • Socioeconomic background
  • • English language learner status
  • • Geographic location

Understanding AI Predictions

Every AI Prediction Includes:

Confidence Score

A percentage indicating how certain the AI is about its prediction, helping you gauge reliability.

Contributing Factors

The top 3-5 factors that influenced the prediction, ranked by importance.

Historical Context

Similar past situations and their outcomes to provide context for the prediction.

Uncertainty Indicators

Any factors that might reduce accuracy, such as limited data or unusual patterns.
