The challenge
Common governance gaps for schools and universities organisations deploying AI.
Your EdTech tools may be legally high-risk
AI proctoring software, automated admissions screening, learning outcome predictors, and student behaviour monitoring tools may qualify as high-risk under EU AI Act Annex III. Non-compliance with the August 2026 deadline carries fines of up to 3% of global turnover.
Student data GDPR obligations
AI systems processing student records, assessment data, or behavioural logs require documented DPIAs and data minimisation evidence under UK GDPR Article 35.
Equality Act obligations for AI-assisted decisions
AI that assists in admissions, progression, or exclusion decisions must be assessed for bias across protected characteristics including disability, race, and age under the Equality Act 2010.
Regulatory obligations
EU AI Act Annex III, point 3 classifies AI systems used to determine access to educational institutions, assess learning outcomes, or monitor student behaviour as high-risk. Deployers must establish a documented Risk Management System (Article 9) and ensure human oversight mechanisms (Article 14) are in place by 2 August 2026.
