A school’s recent decision to replace its AI tool has ignited a discussion about data privacy and intellectual property within educational institutions. A Reddit user, /u/aremissing, shared on r/artificialintelligence that their supervisor attributed the change primarily to concerns over anonymity. The user, however, casts doubt on the ability of any AI platform to fully protect IP, hinting that Microsoft’s push for Copilot might be a contributing factor. This development raises important questions about the privacy implications of integrating AI tools into learning environments.
