Higher Education

Safe and Fair Use of AI in Academia

Educators are eager to adopt AI for improved learning, yet face critical hurdles like academic dishonesty and misinformation. To move forward, Higher Education Institutions need precise tools that authorize AI assistance for study while automatically preventing misuse during exams and safeguarding student data privacy.

Student Data Privacy

NeuralShield automatically redacts PII to safeguard student privacy. Customizable policies ensure full alignment with your academic honor codes.

NeuralShield allows AI use in Academia in a controlled manner, ensuring it doesn’t undermine learning outcomes or violate academic policies.

It deploys AI Chat Guardrails - as a browser extension - to monitor and enforce your academic policies instantly; for example, you can block AI access during a closed-book exam to preserve fair testing environments. Afterwards, you get custom reports showing that no unauthorised AI assistance was used by students – or pinpointing if it was. 

For daily use, its Natural Language Evaluators maintain quality by filtering out toxic content, bias, or hallucinations, ensuring students receive appropriate and accurate AI outputs.

Finally, it safeguards your institutional liability by automatically redacting any personal student data (PII), turning AI from a liability into a controlled, powerful tool for learning.

AI can be used in education if managed correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get the fundamental answers you need to understand NeuralShield's mission, technology, and value. If you're new to AI assurance, this is the perfect place to start.

What is NeuralShield? NeuralShield is an AI assurance platform that detects, prevents, and even insures against AI’s unpredictable behaviours. We provide comprehensive AI governance and protection across your users, models, and organisation.
How does NeuralShield work? Our platform operates through four core pillars: Guardrails (policy enforcement), Evaluations (real-time quality and ethics checks for bias/hallucination/toxicity), Protection (inline LLM Proxy and threat defence), and Reporting (audit logs and risk telemetry).
What kind of AI systems does NeuralShield work with? NeuralShield is designed to integrate with popular Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI platforms, including third-party tools like ChatGPT, open-source LLMs, and custom models deployed on-premises or in the cloud.
What are the pricing tiers? We offer three flexible tiers: Freemium for individuals and small teams to get started, Pro for growing teams needing advanced features, and Enterprise for organisations requiring full EU AI Act compliance, self-hosting, and insurance integration. Contact us for more pricing details.
How can we allow AI use in the classroom without risking academic cheating? NeuralShield acts as a smart proctor via our AI Chat Guardrails. Institutions can monitor AI tool usage or, for high-stakes exams, block access to specific AI tools, preserving a fair testing environment.
How do teachers gain visibility into student AI use? The platform generates custom reports that show teachers which students accessed AI, when they did so, and what queries were asked. This provides transparency to uphold academic integrity without punitive surveillance.
How do you ensure student data privacy when using AI tools? NeuralShield automatically redacts Personal Identifiable Information (PII) and confidential data within prompts and responses. This safeguards student data and aligns with academic privacy policies, ensuring no sensitive information is leaked to third-party models.
