Abstract
This article explores the intersection between Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED), public policies, and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the Brazilian context. We analyze the ethical and legal challenges faced in implementing AIED projects in public schools, focusing on protecting student data. Specifically, we present an overview of the GDPR in Brazil, highlighting the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) and public policies for learning recovery. A specific case study is discussed, showing the application of GDPR in a specific AIED project. Finally, insights, challenges, and recommendations to promote educational opportunities in the Brazilian context are discussed.
