Leveraging Ai For Education

Connecting Students to Knowledge.
A game changer even in the most remote locations. A SAFE, inclusive, and innovative approach that brings the power of GenAI to schools worldwide – even in offline environments.

We Enable World-class, Innovative E-learning

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a transformative force in education, enabling personalized learning, optimized teaching, and efficient system management. But there’s a cost to everything – AI uses massive amounts of compute power, memory, data storage, power and energy, and infrastructure. For that reason, while AI holds the power to revolutionize education, it also has the potential to actually increase the daunting digital divide that exists between developed and developing nations AI risks deepening educational inequalities rather than bridging them. This growing digital divide not only deprives underserved communities of quality education but also hampers their economic and social progress.

For AI to be a catalyst for equality, it must be accessible to all, regardless of location or resources.

At Critical Links, we recognize that the challenge we face is clear: to ensure that AI not only revolutionizes education but does so in a fair, accessible, and inclusive way so that everyone, regardless of location or economic conditions, can benefit from this extraordinary advancement. Achieving this will require industry leaders to work together to create a new, SAFE approach.

We understand that many educational systems face challenges such as unstable connectivity, limited infrastructure, and restricted access to consistent energy, especially in remote areas or developing regions. Therefore, we are working on a solution designed to function even in these more challenging contexts, without compromising the quality of education.

THE DANGER CANNOT BE IGNORED:

AI is not made accessible to everyone, it risks widening educational inequalities rather than bridging them. The digital divide – already alarming – could become insurmountable, creating a world where access to quality education is determined solely by one’s birthplace.

Ai Library: Key Reference Documents & Guidelines

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is profoundly transforming the way we live, work, and learn. In education, AI offers powerful tools to personalize learning, expand access to knowledge, and support educators and students. However, its use also brings challenges and ethical considerations that demand an informed and responsible approach.

We provide a collection of global frameworks, standards, and guidelines for the use of AI in education, with a focus on guidance from UNESCO and other international organizations. These documents establish essential principles, such as transparency, privacy, equality, and inclusion, along with recommendations for the ethical and effective adoption of AI in educational institutions. The resources presented aim to support decision-makers and educators in creating safe, student-centered learning environments, empowering them to harness the potential of AI in an ethical, informed, and responsible way.

Artificial Intelligence has the potential to address some of the biggest challenges in education today. However, rapid technological developments inevitably bring multiple risks and challenges, which have so far outpaced policy debates and regulatory frameworks…the promise of ‘AI for all’ must be that everyone can take advantage of the technological revolution under way and access its fruits, notably in terms of innovation and knowledge.

EDUCATION WITH A SAFE SOLUTION

We have invested in developing AI solutions that are SAFE: S-ecure, A-ppropriate, F-unctionally specific, and E–conomically feasible. In order for AI to become globally successful in creating a better world, we believe that all of these aspects of technology need to be delivered.

Secure

An AI-enabled digital learning environment where sensitive information (PII, confidential HR and administrative information, custom curriculum, etc.) is protected from getting ‘out’, and unsafe data (malware, ransomware, incorrect or illicit information, etc.) is kept from getting ‘in’.

Appropriate

The data and knowledge that is used by the language models should have ‘guardrails’ that ensure that only appropriate content, both in level of understanding as well as in cultural aspects, is included in AI-based exchanges. Prohibited and forbidden information should not be used for AI-generated synthetic data or conversations, and prompts should be engineered to guide the user based upon their level, their persona, and the tasks at hand.

Functionally Specific

AI has such broad capabilities that, in order to be successful, it must be targeted to specific tasks, users, and desired outcomes. The concept of personas is key (Is this a student? A teacher? Or an educational administrator?) to ensure that both the prompting and the output are not only appropriate but also successfully achieve the objectives that the user (and the technology) are seeking to attain.

Economically Feasible

AI often requires significant resources—massive data centers and cloud infrastructure—which are inaccessible to most classrooms. To bridge this gap, we must engineer a complete AI solution, including the language model, curated data, processing power, and memory, that can operate without connectivity or external power. Designed for global deployment, this solution aims to cost less than $0.01 per student per day, making it accessible to all educational environments.
