AI Use Policy

We teach AI literacy, so we hold ourselves to the same standard we ask of others: be open about where and how AI is used. This policy explains the role artificial intelligence plays in our work — what it does, what it never does, and where a human is always responsible. It applies to freyjalabs.com and loomandlesson.com, and to the professional development, lessons, and materials we create.

It's written by Freyja Laboratory LLC ("Freyja Labs," "we," "us"), which also operates the Loom & Lesson studio. Questions are welcome at hello@freyjalabs.com.

The short version

• The ideas are ours — drawn from decades of research, synthesis, and classroom observation.
• We plan the subjects, the framing, and the throughline; AI helps us flesh out and draft from there.
• A human reviews, revises, and iterates on everything before it reaches you. Nothing ships unread.
• We never put student data or confidential client material into any AI tool.
• We use AI as a tool, not an author — we stand behind every claim, citation, and recommendation as our own.

Where the ideas come from

Our work rests on a foundation that predates the current wave of generative AI: decades of education research, technical practice, and time spent watching real learning happen in real rooms. The questions we choose to address, the frameworks we build on, the sequencing of a workshop, the through-line of a lesson — these are decisions of professional judgment, made by people who have spent their careers on them. AI does not set our direction or supply our point of view.

How we use AI in our content

Once the thinking is done, AI earns its place as a drafting and synthesis tool. In practice that means we may use it to:

• Flesh out an outline we've already structured — turning our plan and notes into fuller prose we then rework.
• Draft alternatives — phrasings, examples, or explanations we can compare, cut, and combine.
• Synthesize and summarize source material we've selected, so we can move faster through our own review.
• Pressure-test a draft — surfacing gaps, unclear steps, or counter-arguments for us to address.
• Tidy mechanics — copy-editing, formatting, and consistency passes.

AI accelerates the work between having an idea and having a finished page. It does not replace the idea, and it does not get the last word.

A human is always responsible

Everything we publish or deliver is reviewed, revised, and approved by one of us before it goes out. We treat AI output as a first draft to be checked, not a fact to be trusted: we verify claims, confirm citations against their sources, correct what's wrong, and cut what doesn't belong. Where AI is confidently mistaken — and it is, often — that's caught in review. The work carries our name because the judgment behind it is ours.

What we never feed into AI

This is a firm line. We do not enter the following into any AI tool, for any reason:

• Student data. Our lessons run unplugged and never collect student information in the first place — and none of it would ever go near an AI system.
• Confidential client material. Internal documents, strategic plans, assessment results, named individuals, or anything a district or organization shares with us in confidence.
• Personal data of subscribers or members beyond what's described in our Privacy Policy.

When AI is genuinely useful for client-facing work, we work from de-identified, non-confidential material — generic patterns and anonymized examples — not the real, identifying details.

AI on our website and in our product

Our sites and the Loom & Lesson product are deliberately low-tech. We do not run AI chatbots, AI-generated recommendations, or automated decision-making about you, and we do not feed your account activity into AI systems. If we ever add an AI-powered feature, we'll describe it plainly here and in our Privacy Policy before it launches — including what it does with your data and how to opt out.

Our stance on AI in education

We've been integrating computing and AI literacy into teaching for years — before they became policy mandates — and our position is consistent: AI is a powerful tool that works best in service of human expertise, not as a substitute for it. We model that in our own practice, and it's what we help educators and leaders do in theirs. We're skeptical of hype, honest about limitations, and committed to keeping people — teachers, students, and the professionals who support them — at the center of the work.

Changes to this policy

As the tools change and our practice evolves, we'll keep this page current. We'll update the effective date above and, for material changes, give notice on the site.
