Synthetic Media and Digital Replica Policy

1. Definitions

2. Prohibited Uses

The following uses of KairosED™ are explicitly prohibited:

• Generating text, images, audio, or video that falsely depicts a real student, teacher, administrator, parent, or public figure saying or doing something they did not say or do;
• Creating AI-generated personas or content that impersonates a specific, identifiable real person;
• Generating written content designed to simulate another person's authentic voice for the purpose of deception;
• Creating synthetic media of students — regardless of age — in any context;
• Using the platform to produce inputs (prompts) intended to extract synthetic media or digital replicas from the AI model, even if the model refuses;
• Uploading or sharing synthetic media of real individuals through the platform's document upload features.

3. What Is Permitted

The following uses remain permitted:

• Academic discussion of synthetic media technology (e.g., a media literacy lesson that explains how deepfakes work);
• Creating clearly fictional characters without reference to specific real individuals;
• Writing historical fiction or educational narratives about historical figures in an explicitly fictional context, clearly labeled as such;
• Generating lesson materials that teach students to identify and critically evaluate synthetic media.

4. Why This Policy Exists

K-12 schools face serious and growing risks from synthetic media:

• Deepfake images and videos of students have been used in bullying and harassment incidents in schools across the country;
• Non-consensual synthetic intimate imagery (NCII) involving minors constitutes child sexual abuse material (CSAM) regardless of whether actual children were photographed;
• Synthetic media of teachers and administrators has been used to damage professional reputations;
• Synthetic media undermines the authenticity required for meaningful educational assessment.

KairosED maintains this policy in alignment with federal law (18 U.S.C. § 2256 et seq. for CSAM), applicable state synthetic media laws, and the emerging federal NO FAKES Act framework.

5. Detection and Enforcement

KairosED™ enforces this policy through:

• Keyword and pattern filters that detect synthetic media generation attempts in user prompts and AI outputs;
• Automatic BLOCK action on prompts requesting deepfakes or realistic depictions of named real individuals;
• Audit logging of all detection events with administrator notification;
• Account suspension for verified violations;
• Mandatory reporting to law enforcement where content constitutes CSAM.

No district administrator configuration can disable synthetic media protections.
