Friday: Week 3 Review

At the end of the week, Maya, Ben and Rosa tape their lists beside their screens.

Maya's list starts with "no photos of the kids". Ben's starts with "no student names, ever". Rosa's starts with "no customer list, no passwords".

"It is shorter than I expected," Rosa says. "And it will save me from one bad paste."

This week in five lines

  • Generative AI can leak or misuse health, location, biometric or other personal information (NIST).
  • Language models have revealed sensitive information from their training data, called data memorization (NIST).
  • Under COPPA, a child is under 13, and a child's photo, voice, full name and address are personal information.
  • Under FERPA, student and family names, addresses, student numbers and dates of birth are personally identifiable information.
  • The SBA advises businesses to try not to feed sensitive or proprietary information into AI tools.
Not legal advice
This is a plain summary, not legal advice. For your own case, check with your school, district or a lawyer.
