Updating our Terms of Service for the AI Integration Rollout

We are excited to be rolling out our massive upgrade to AI this month! Already, subscribers will notice the little purple buttons all over the site controls offering AI assistance with test question generation, grading student work, and tasks specifically geared toward teaching modern languages.

Subscribers will be invited to agree to the new terms of service when everything is up and running in June. Here is the text of that change:

AI-ENABLED FEATURES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Innovation Assessments LLC now provides access to a variety of artificial intelligence (AI)–powered tools to enhance educational services. These may include, but are not limited to, automated test question generation, grading support for essays and short answers, rubric design assistance, writing prompt creation, and supervised chat-based discussion with AI for students. Users should be aware that AI-generated content may contain inaccuracies or reflect inherent biases, and human oversight is crucial.

Use of AI services is subject to the following terms:

  • Students may only access AI-powered chat or discussion tools under licensing of their teacher, and only if the teacher has enabled this feature for their activity.
  • All AI-generated content is provided “as-is” and may require human review. Teachers are responsible for reviewing all materials prior to use in assessments or instruction.
  • Essay grading by AI is advisory in nature. Final evaluation remains at the discretion of the teacher or institution.
  • Teachers and students may not use the platform’s AI features to submit or generate content that is harmful, discriminatory, or in violation of academic integrity policies (which include, but are not limited to, plagiarism and unauthorized assistance).
  • Innovation Assessments LLC reserves the right to monitor, restrict, or disable AI usage in cases of misuse, abuse, or usage patterns that negatively impact the platform’s performance or other users.

Innovation Assessments LLC will handle data generated through AI features in accordance with its Privacy Policy. Innovation Assessments LLC may update or modify its AI-powered features and functionalities over time. By using any AI-related features, you acknowledge the limitations of current AI technology and agree not to rely solely on AI-generated outputs for high-stakes educational decisions.

AI TOKEN USAGE

Access to AI features is governed by a monthly token system. Each account tier includes a set number of AI tokens per month, which may be used for supported features such as question generation, AI chat, grading support, and other automated tools. Tokens renew every 30 days from the date of paid subscription.

  • AI tokens do not roll over. Unused tokens expire at the end of each 30-day cycle.
  • Users may purchase additional token bundles if their monthly allotment is exhausted before renewal.
  • Token usage is calculated by the AI company and may vary based on the feature and the amount of text processed in both the request and the response. Requests with more text will consume more tokens, as will more detailed or lengthy AI-generated content. Higher-cost actions (e.g., full essay scoring) consume more tokens.
  • Token balances and consumption details are available to account administrators within the platform dashboard.
  • It is the user’s responsibility to monitor token use and purchase additional tokens as needed.

Innovation Assessments LLC reserves the right to modify token costs, tier allowances, or features covered by tokens with notice. Abuse of the token system may result in service restrictions or termination.
