Two of the nation's largest teachers unions and Microsoft on Wednesday announced a legally enforceable national standard governing how artificial intelligence tools handle student and teacher data, saying they acted because federal regulators have not.

The National AI Safety & Privacy Standard, negotiated by the American Federation of Teachers, the United Federation of Teachers and Microsoft, allows school districts to write the protections directly into their Microsoft contracts.

AFT President Randi Weingarten and Microsoft Vice Chair and President Brad Smith signed the memorandum of agreement Monday.

"We have forged a hard-fought, iron-clad privacy agreement with real teeth that protects students and families, because no one else, including the federal government, has stepped up to do the real work," Weingarten said in a statement. "We can get angrier and angrier, or we can act decisively; anything less than legally enforceable provisions is simply a wish list."

Under the standard, student and educator data cannot be used to train AI models, sold or repurposed, and districts retain control over how long data is kept and when it is deleted.

AI systems covered by the agreement cannot make decisions about students without human oversight and must avoid manipulative or harmful interactions. Companies must disclose product changes, risks and available controls, and provide parents and educators plain-language explanations of the tools.

The unions said the agreement's enforcement provisions distinguish it from voluntary industry pledges. Districts may terminate contracts and seek damages from providers that violate the terms. If a material breach goes uncured, the AFT or its National Academy for AI Instruction may revoke a provider's participation and announce the revocation publicly.

"This standard sets a high bar for child privacy and AI safety, and we'll extend this agreement to every school district across the country," Smith said in a statement.

Michael Mulgrew, president of the 200,000-member United Federation of Teachers, said the agreement begins to level the playing field in a "competitive, ever-changing arena" that lacks guardrails for children and school communities.

"Educators are stepping in to do what we do best: protect our students," Mulgrew said in a statement.

"This agreement gives families and school districts the information and privacy protections they have been demanding, and it empowers school districts to end agreements and seek damages from bad actors who break the rules."

Microsoft will make the protections available to all U.S. school districts beginning Nov. 1 without requiring them to renegotiate existing contracts. The framework leaves open slots for other AI companies to sign on.

The AFT launched the National Academy for AI Instruction in 2025 with Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic to train teachers on classroom AI use. New York City Public Schools and the Los Angeles Unified School District have adopted similar frameworks.

Brent could fall toward $80 if Gulf exports normalize, but further tanker attacks could send prices sharply higher.

Oil prices could climb to $120 per barrel if attacks on commercial shipping in the Persian Gulf broaden and intensify, according to Goldman Sachs, as escalating U.S.–Iran strikes keep crude flows well below prewar levels.

The prospect of $120 crude was outlined by Daan Struyven, co-head of global commodities research at Goldman Sachs, in a Sep. 7 appearance on Bloomberg Television. He said recent events in the Middle East show that the danger of shipping disruptions “broadening and intensifying” has become significant.

Struyven’s remarks came as Brent crude rose by 89 cents, or 0.9 percent, to $97.17 per barrel by 9:33 a.m. ET on Sept. 7, after touching $97.93, its highest level since July 24. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) gained 79 cents to $92.27 per barrel.

It also comes as U.S. gasoline prices, which have been pushed higher by constraints on crude shipments due to the U.S.–Iran conflict, rose to a Labor Day record high of $4.15 per gallon on Sept. 7, according to AAA data.

The Sept. 7 gains in crude followed a sharp rally last week, when Brent rose by about 8 percent and WTI by nearly 10 percent after the United States and Iran resumed attacks on vessels in and around the Strait of Hormuz.

Goldman Sachs estimates that Persian Gulf oil exports have fallen to about 16 million barrels per day, down from a prewar average of 23 million.

“So that is roughly two-thirds, with important contributions from pipelines and also dark flows that initially don’t show up in the data but eventually show up ... once the ships turn on their transponders,” Struyven said.

Risk of Broader Disruptions

Struyven said the volume of oil leaving the Gulf remains the most important factor for crude prices. If regional exports return to normal, Goldman expects Brent to fall toward $80 per barrel, broadly in line with the level suggested by current commercial inventories.

But further attacks could send prices sharply higher.

“In an upside scenario where shipping attacks broaden and intensify, we see Brent potentially reaching $120 per barrel,” Struyven said, noting that the risk of further disruptions to tanker traffic is an “important one” while describing the upside risk to crude prices as “meaningful.”

U.S. forces struck three Iranian oil tankers on Sept. 5, including one near Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export hub, according to U.S. Central Command. The strikes came in response to attempts by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to launch ballistic missiles toward two U.S. Navy warships.

The IRGC stated that it targeted three tankers that were using unauthorized routes through the Strait of Hormuz, along with three U.S.-linked vessels elsewhere. Iran has also stated that it plans to establish a restricted zone outside the strait, potentially exposing more ships in the region to attack.

Marisks, a maritime intelligence firm, called the Sept. 5 strikes a “major escalation,” stating that commercial tankers were increasingly being used as instruments of economic pressure.

ING commodities strategists Warren Patterson and Ewa Manthey said in a Sept. 7 note that the oil market remained “well-supported,” with little sign of peace between Washington and Tehran.

An average of 10 commodity ships sailed through the Strait of Hormuz per day over the past 10 days, the lowest since May, according to data released on Sept. 7 by analytics firm Kpler.

“If tanker traffic begins to slow materially, the market could price in a much larger supply shock. And there are already signs that this is happening,” said Priyanka Sachdeva, head of market insights at Phillip Nova.

Despite the escalation, oil continues to move through the Strait of Hormuz under U.S. Navy escort.

ING analysts said European natural gas prices were showing a stronger price reaction than oil because liquefied natural gas shipments via Hormuz had not recovered as quickly as crude.

European benchmark gas prices rose by nearly 4 percent early on Sept. 7 as the region approached the 2026–2027 heating season with what Patterson and Manthey described as “increasingly vulnerable” supplies.

Breakthrough Energy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakthrough_Energy

Breakthrough Energy is the umbrella name of several organizations, founded by Bill Gates in 2015, that aim to accelerate innovation in sustainable energy and in other technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It has been investing in a variety of startup companies which were attempting to commercialize new concepts such as nuclear fusion, large-capacity batteries to store renewable energy, and microbe-generated biofuels.[1] In 2025, strategy shifted away from public policy towards supporting clean energy technology alone, as the Second Trump administration has been promoting fossil fuels and dissolved programs addressing climate change.
