The certifiable and scalable governance system for trustworthy AI in education.
The Operational AI Governance Framework for Education. Trusted by Experts. Built for Classrooms. Available Now.
Artificial Intelligence is no longer an experiment in education — it’s shaping learning, grading, admissions, and decision-making. But governance hasn’t kept pace.
The AIGN Education AI Governance Framework is the first fully operational system for governing AI in schools and universities:
- Built for legal, ethical, and educational realities
- Compatible with EU AI Act, GDPR, COPPA, UNESCO, OECD
- Scalable from rural classrooms to national education ministries
Governance must not chase AI in education – it must lead it.
— Patrick Upmann, Founder of AIGN
Why Educational AI Governance Matters Now
AI in classrooms is here. Oversight is not.
- 65 % of students use ChatGPT or similar tools (Bitkom, 2024)
- 78 % of universities already deploy AI in at least one core function (HolonIQ, 2024)
- Yet only 23 % of schools have any governance framework in place (OECD, 2024)
This creates a global trust gap – and AIGN is closing it.
