Ethical AI Statement

RevisionDojo is designed to help IB students learn more effectively while upholding the highest standards of academic integrity and student wellbeing. Our AI features support understanding, feedback, and practice but never replace a student’s own thinking, authorship, or responsibility for their work.

Our AI principles

• Student-first: AI is used to deepen understanding, scaffold skills, and build confidence, not to shortcut learning or automate assessed work.
• Human responsibility: Students, teachers, and schools remain ultimately responsible for all assessed work and grading decisions, including IAs, EEs, TOK, and examinations.
• Integrity and fairness: The platform is built to support IB academic integrity expectations and to reduce opportunities for plagiarism or misuse of generative AI.

Where AI is and is not used

• Jojo AI tutor: The Jojo chatbot is restricted to working with the platform’s textbooks and related learning content, guiding students through explanations, examples, and questions without writing coursework for them.
• Non-AI tools: Study Planner, question bank, flashcards, cheatsheets, vocabulary, data booklet, exercises, mock exams, predicted papers, IA/EE guides, TOK prompts, and exemplars are content and workflow tools without embedded generative AI.
• Support and checking tools: Features such as the citation tool, plagiarism and AI checks, IA/EE/TOK grading tools, bulk grader, IA/EE planner, oral practice, and predict grade are designed to provide guidance, analytics, or feedback, not to generate final submissions.

Acceptable and unacceptable use

• Acceptable use: Students may use AI-powered features to clarify concepts from the textbook, get hints on exercises, practise oral responses, organise ideas for IAs/EEs/TOK, and receive formative feedback that they then revise in their own words.
• Unacceptable use: Students must not use any feature to generate or significantly rewrite text or data that they present as their own in IAs, EEs, TOK essays, or other assessed work, nor to fabricate data, citations, or reflections.
• School alignment: Schools are encouraged to share their own AI and academic integrity policies with students, and the platform is intended to be used in line with IB and school-specific requirements.

Data protection and safety

• Privacy by design: The platform is designed to minimise personal data collection and to avoid sending identifiable student assessment content to external AI services where this can be avoided.
• Zero data retention: The platform does not retain student prompts, responses, or uploaded content for longer than is necessary to provide the service the user has requested, and operational logs are minimised and periodically deleted.
• No training on user data: User content and interaction data are not used to train or fine-tune the platform’s AI models, and no student work is added to external model providers’ training datasets.
• Full GDPR compliance: The platform is operated in compliance with GDPR requirements, including lawful basis for processing, data minimisation, and data subject rights such as access, rectification, and erasure, and appropriate data processing agreements are in place where required.
• No third party sharing of personally identifiable information: Personally identifiable information (PII) is not sold or shared with third parties for advertising or unrelated purposes, and any necessary sub-processors only receive the minimum data needed under strict contractual safeguards.
• Safe content: Filters and safeguards are in place to reduce harmful, inappropriate, or biased outputs, and Jojo is configured to refuse requests that seek to bypass IB rules or school policies.
• Transparency for schools: Schools can access usage and grading analytics to support discussion, monitoring, and authentication of student work where needed.

Commitments to schools

• Partnership with teachers: The platform is built to extend teacher capacity for practice, feedback, and differentiation, not to replace professional judgment or classroom relationships.
• Continuous review: AI features and safeguards are regularly reviewed and updated in response to changes in IB guidance, regulation, and school feedback.
• Clear communication: The website, in-product messaging, and documentation explain where AI is used, what it does, and how students are expected to use it ethically, so schools can confidently adopt the platform.
