AboutResponsible AI

Responsible AI

Assistance with professional oversight.

Maxwell uses AI to prepare work for teachers, not to make final judgements about students. These are the design principles that govern how it behaves.

Design principles

Six principles Maxwell is built around

Teacher authority

Marking prepared by Maxwell is reviewed and moderated by a teacher before it counts.

Controlled release

Feedback and progress reports reach students and families only when a teacher releases them.

Subject boundaries

Maxwell answers Physics. It is not a general-purpose assistant for students.

Honest status

Capabilities that are available and capabilities that are planned are labelled separately.

Illustrative demonstrations

Every product image on this website uses illustrative demonstration data, never real student work.

Careful handling

Information is used to deliver learning and assessment. It is not sold and is not used for advertising.

Limits

What Maxwell does not do

  • It does not award final grades without teacher moderation
  • It does not publish feedback automatically
  • It does not give parents a live feed of a child's learning conversations
  • It does not replace a school's own reporting or safeguarding processes
