As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in everyday school practice, unclear boundaries create risk rather than safety.

In this episode of Mr F’s AI Classroom, we explore where schools should draw clear lines around AI use and why those boundaries protect teachers, students, and institutions. The episode addresses safeguarding and GDPR risks, the misuse of AI for homework, and why well-meaning workload reduction can quickly become professional vulnerability without clarity.

Mr F also connects this discussion to the Department for Education’s Curriculum and Assessment Review, explaining why AI guidance must focus on objectives and levels of use rather than specific tools or platforms.

You will hear:

• Why boundaries are not bans, but protection
• How unclear AI use creates safeguarding and GDPR risks
• Why levels of AI use are more effective than naming tools
• How clear boundaries prevent misconduct and over-reliance
• Why waiting for statutory guidance is the riskiest option

This episode is for teachers, school leaders, and anyone responsible for setting safe, realistic expectations around AI in education.
