Just Horizons Alliance has introduced the AI Ethics Index for K-12 Education, a tool to help schools and policymakers evaluate the ethical and practical impact of AI systems used in classrooms, developed in collaboration with Boston University’s Wheelock College of Education & Human Development.

Just Horizons Alliance has introduced the AI Ethics Index for K-12 Education, announced in a press release. The new tool is designed to help educators, policymakers, and companies assess the ethical and real world impact of artificial intelligence systems used in schools.

The Index provides a structured approach to evaluate whether AI tools are safe for students, effective for learning, transparent in design, equitable in impact, and suitable for classroom use. It aims to support schools as they make decisions about AI technologies that influence instruction, assessment, and student engagement.

Developed in collaboration with Boston University’s Wheelock College of Education and Human Development, the Index integrates technical and ethical analysis with educational expertise. The partnership ensures that learning outcomes, equity, and classroom implementation remain central to evaluations of AI systems.

The AI Ethics Index is available at aiethicsindex.org, while more information about the organization’s research and public interest work can be found at justhorizons.org.
