2. YOUR INFORMATION AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COURSES

Artificial Intelligence is able to make connections between input data and the desired output to find complex patterns between data. As such, we take data privacy extremely seriously.

During no time are students or users requested, required or encouraged to enter any kind of personal information.
We do not use any forms of data input, such as camera or microphone, which may be used to identify students or users. The Artificial Intelligence program students have access to, runs entirely locally on the device. This means that no data which may be entered into or output from the Artificial Intelligence is sent to our servers, viewable by us or otherwise used by us.

Students and users are able to input data into the Artificial Intelligence. This data is entirely non personal, fictitious and in the form of text. Examples include: positive and negative phrases and the colour of an area on the screen.
