Keep It Local: Secure AI for Your Organization – Recording Available

 

Aaron Kingery, CIO of Acture Solutions, gave an in-depth presentation on how organizations (K-12 schools, Colleges/Universities, Local Government, Libraries) can safely and effectively adopt AI systems under local control - without compromising data privacy or compliance.   

 

 

Webinar Description

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming education, but school districts face unique challenges around student privacy, governance, compliance, cost predictability, and operational resilience.

 

In this webinar, Aaron Kingery of Acture Solutions explores how recent advances in open-weight AI models and local AI infrastructure have made district-controlled AI practical for K-12 organizations. The presentation examines why schools are increasingly evaluating local AI deployments rather than relying exclusively on cloud-based AI platforms.

 

Topics include:
  • Why local AI matters for school districts
  • Data sovereignty and FERPA considerations
  • Cost predictability versus cloud subscription models
  • Mission-critical resilience and continuity planning
  • AI governance and acceptable-use policies
  • Hardware and software options for local AI deployment
  • Apple/Claris and NVIDIA/open-source implementation paths
  • Open-weight AI models released in 2026
  • Real-world K-12 use cases
  • AI limitations and prohibited workflows
  • Comparative costs of local AI versus commercial AI platforms
  • Governance frameworks and pilot design
  • KPI measurement and district adoption strategies
The webinar provides a practical roadmap for educational leaders evaluating secure, district-controlled AI initiatives.

 

Whether you're exploring AI for the first time or looking to refine your current approach, this webinar will provide clear, actionable guidance to help you move forward with confidence.
