On November 10, 2026, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and its New York branch, the United Federation of Teachers, announced that Anthropic has signed onto an agreement related to its artificial intelligence software, aligned with the AI Safety and Privacy Standard for Schools. The legally binding agreement’s terms will apply to Anthropic’s existing agreements with school districts and makes AI safety, privacy, and transparency standards enforceable in thousands of U.S. K-12 schools.
The agreement requires Anthropic to use student and educator information only for authorized educational purposes. Schools control how long data is kept and when it is deleted. It also requires AI products to include safeguards for schools and requires the company to provide schools and families with information on its products, what data is collected, where it falls short, and what protections are in place. It is effective November 10, 2026.
