Au sujet de l’entreprise: 

Edgentica is a Canada-based AI regulatory technology company. Our product delivers citation-bound, audit-ready AI for governments and enterprises, enabling faster and more reliable regulatory analysis.

As we scale into new regulatory jurisdictions, we're building academic partnerships to deepen our understanding of international AI governance frameworks.

Veuillez décrire le projet.: 

This project examines the regulatory and ethical considerations relevant to the use of AI tools in K-12 and post-secondary education settings, with a comparative lens across Canada, the United States, the European Union, and Taiwan. The intern will review applicable regulatory frameworks and institutional policies governing AI use in education - including Canadian student data privacy legislation and provincial guidance, U.S. frameworks (e.g., FERPA, state-level student data privacy and AI-in-education laws), European frameworks (e.g., GDPR as applied to education and the EU AI Act), and Taiwan's AI Basic Act (effective January 2026) alongside Ministry of Education guidance. This project includes two parallel intern positions: one focused on PII/login-gated scenarios (e.g., student authentication, records access, and privacy governance), and one on non-PII/public-facing scenarios, with outputs combined into a unified compliance framework. The interns will engage with prospective Taiwan-based research partners such as Academia Sinica's Institutum Iurisprudentiae and the Science & Technology Law Institute, building on Edgentica's production deployment in Yunlin County, and will collaborate with Edgentica to develop practical guidance supporting responsible AI adoption in educational institutions.

Expertise ou compétences exigées: 

Background in education, education policy, law, international/comparative law, or a related discipline. Working knowledge of, or strong interest in, North American, European, and/or Taiwanese education/data-privacy regulatory systems. Interest in ed-tech, student data privacy, or responsible AI in learning environments. Strong comparative research and technical writing skills. Basic understanding of AI/ML concepts is an asset but not required. Preference will be given to faculty/co-supervisors with existing professional relationships with schools or school boards, as this project aims to validate research findings with real-world implementation partners.
