Education
Lead on AI and still protect student data.
Universities, schools and research institutions are under double pressure. They are expected to provide modern AI tools, while processing student data, exam results and personal research data covered by state data protection laws. Several state data protection commissioners have already advised against US cloud AI services.
The challenge
Why AI has hardly been permitted here so far.
Relevant regulations
- State data protection laws
- Higher education laws
- Ethics committees
- 01State data protection and higher education laws govern how student data is handled.
- 02Exam results, student ID numbers and reasons for de-registration are specially protected.
- 03Research data with personal reference is subject to ethics committees.
- 04Teaching staff already use AI extensively, often without institutional approval.
Anonix in practice
What the AI provider actually sees.
The example uses fictitious demonstration data. The placeholders show which information Anonix detects and replaces.

Nothing changes for your staff.
Your software calls the AI as usual. Anonix sits in between, replaces the personal data and puts it back into the response. Integration consists of two changed lines: API address and API key. This works with OpenAI®, Claude® and Gemini® as well as with self-hosted models.
