The AI Safety Project
Privacy Policy
Welcome to SaferAI.
We deliver AI-Safety Professional Development Workshops for Teachers.
Upcoming Workshops.
We help schools protect their students against AI through our 6-Pillars of AI-Safety.
Protect cognition.
AI and screens pose a threat to students' cognitive development. Therefore, school leaders and teachers have a responsibility to protect their learners from them.
Protect wellbeing.
AI can threaten students’ social and emotional development by encouraging reliance on systems designed to simulate conversation, care and companionship. Teachers therefore have a responsibility to avoid encouraging students to use AI and to protect human relationships as the foundation of wellbeing.
Protect independent decision-making.
Children don’t need EdTech, EdTech needs children. For schools to protect their students, school leaders and teachers must base decisions on independent evidence, not industry-funded, pro-tech propaganda.
Protect assessment integrity.
Traditional methods of assessment no longer hold up in the age of AI. Therefore, for teachers to make genuine contact with their students’ learning, more effective methods of assessment must be adopted.
Protect teacher expertise.
AI threatens to erode the content-knowledge, informed practice and professional judgement that have traditionally underpinned quality teaching, reducing teachers from deliberate designers of learning to peddlers of AI-generated slop. Teaching must remain an intellectually demanding profession in which educators act not merely as conveyors of content, but as curators of human-created work who inspire the next generation.
Protect student privacy.
AI poses serious privacy risks when sensitive and identifiable student data is exposed to unapproved systems. Teachers must minimise data sharing, anonymise information whenever possible, and use only approved tools.
We also deliver whole-staff workshops.
Meet Jaco.
Jaco is the founder of SaferAI and a practising teacher with five years of classroom experience, much of it in online and distance education. An early adopter of generative AI, his initial enthusiasm has developed into a more cautious and critical understanding of its role in education.
He is currently completing a Bachelor of Psychology, with the aim of specialising in educational psychology. His work is driven by a commitment to protecting teenagers, their wellbeing, and their capacity to learn from the risks posed by technologies such as AI and social media.
Through SaferAI, Jaco advocates for an approach to education that puts human development first: helping raise a generation of young people who are literate, numerate, knowledgeable, and capable of thinking for themselves before they are expected to become competent and responsible users of technology.
