TrustCircle Joins the EDSAFE AI Industry Council: A Global Commitment to Safe and Responsible AI in Education

TrustCircle is honored to announce its membership in the EDSAFE AI Industry Council, marking a significant milestone in our ongoing mission to empower student well-being through responsible and ethical technology. This collaboration brings together two organizations with a shared vision: using AI for good—to build emotionally resilient, inclusive, and future-ready learning environments.

A Shared Mission: TrustCircle and EDSAFE AI

Founded on the belief that mental health is foundational to academic success and personal development, TrustCircle has pioneered an AI-powered mental health and well-being platform that enables early interventions, emotional journaling, and proactive support for students and educators alike. With reach in over 1.5 million lives globally and recognition from UNDP and UNICEF, HBGI, Hawaii Department of Education, and more—TrustCircle continues to embed emotional intelligence and self-awareness into the heart of K-12 education systems.

Similarly, EDSAFE AI—coordinated by InnovateEDU—is a global alliance dedicated to the safe, accountable, fair, and effective (SAFE) use of artificial intelligence in education. Through its SAFE Benchmarks Framework, EDSAFE AI provides a north star for K–12 institutions, technologists, and policymakers to responsibly integrate AI into learning systems, while ensuring equity, transparency, and student protection.

TrustCircle's Alignment with the SAFE Framework

TrustCircle's mission is deeply aligned with each pillar of the SAFE Framework:

  • Safety: By prioritizing data privacy, student agency, and ethical AI practices, TrustCircle ensures that all emotional data is used solely to support—not stigmatize—students.
  • Accountability: TrustCircle provides clear, actionable insights for educators, counselors, and district leaders to take timely, informed actions for student well-being.
  • Fairness: Our multilingual, low-bandwidth platform design ensures inclusion and accessibility, particularly in underserved or remote communities, both in the U.S. and globally.
  • Efficacy: Backed by data and global fieldwork, TrustCircle has demonstrated positive outcomes in student self-awareness, emotional regulation, and educator readiness for social-emotional support.

Creating Value for K–12 Educators, Students, and Stakeholders

This collaboration is more than symbolic—it's practical and powerful. By joining the EDSAFE AI Council, TrustCircle becomes part of a policymaking, research-driven ecosystem that is shaping how AI is deployed responsibly in classrooms. Together, we will:

  • Empower educators with dashboards and insights to address student needs before they escalate.
  • Equip students with daily SEL practices that build resilience, empathy, and mental clarity.
  • Enable district leaders and policymakers to make data-informed decisions on emotional health support frameworks.

Why This Recognition Matters—Now and for the Future

TrustCircle's inclusion in the EDSAFE AI Industry Council is a validation of our ethical design, impact-driven outcomes, and commitment to student well-being. In a time where AI is rapidly transforming education, this partnership gives K–12 schools a trusted solution rooted in both compassion and compliance.

For schools across the United States and around the world, this recognition means greater confidence in adopting AI tools that truly serve the best interests of students. It means putting well-being before performance, humanity before technology, and prevention before reaction.

Together with EDSAFE AI, TrustCircle is leading a new era of AI in education—one that prioritizes emotional wellness, ethical responsibility, and inclusive growth.
