Ethics Policy

Last updated: March 2026

MyScienceHOD is built on the foundation of empowering educators while maintaining the highest standards of academic and professional integrity. Our Ethics Policy outlines the commitments we require from all users interacting with our AI-driven features.

1. Responsible AI Use

Artificial Intelligence is a powerful tool designed to augment, not replace, the expertise and judgment of human educators. Users must utilize the AI capabilities of MyScienceHOD in a manner that is fair, unbiased, and pedagogically sound.

2. Teacher Responsibility

Educators remain the ultimate authority and bear final responsibility for any content generated, modified, or distributed using MyScienceHOD. It is the teacher's ethical duty to:

• Review all AI-generated lesson plans, assessments, and feedback before delivering them to students.
• Ensure that generated content aligns with local curriculum standards and accuracy requirements.
• Adapt generic AI outputs to meet the diverse and specific needs of their classroom.

3. Prohibition of Misuse

Users must strictly refrain from using the platform to:

• Generate misleading, false, or scientifically inaccurate information intentionally.
• Discriminate against any student profile or demographic in the generation of assessments or grading rubrics.
• Pass off AI-generated evaluations as fully human-reviewed without disclosing the use of automated assistance where required by institutional policy.

4. Ethical Feedback and Reporting

We rely on our community of educators to maintain these ethical standards. If you encounter AI outputs that violate these principles, exhibit bias, or generate harmful content, you are ethically obligated to report it to our team so we can improve the platform's safety guardrails.
