AI Use Policy – Serena Skills
Why We Have This Policy?
At Serena Skills, we believe AI can help you learn better — if used the right way. This policy helps you understand how to use AI tools to support your learning in communication, presentation, teamwork, and critical thinking classes.
AI use policy for students
AI Use Policy in Education refers to the ethical guidelines, rules, and best practices for using artificial intelligence tools in learning environments. These policies ensure that AI supports – rather than replaces – human thinking, creativity, and social interaction. A good AI use policy emphasizes transparency, data privacy, academic integrity, and equitable access. It helps students and educators understand how to use AI tools like ChatGPT or adaptive learning platforms responsibly, ensuring that technology enhances learning without diminishing critical thinking or student agency. Such policies are essential to creating safe, fair, and future-ready learning spaces.
