A tool can produce an answer. A person remains responsible for checking it.
Louisville Beauty Academy’s ethics-by-design retrospective includes a useful technology lesson: AI-supported learning and administration need human review, source control, and a correction path. Its BBB recognition is an organizational ethics award—not a certification of software, AI safety, or cybersecurity.
Thank you to BBB Greater Kentucky Region for this recognition and to Crystal Beeler, our instructors, staff, students, graduates, families, and community for the work behind it.
The recognition, precisely
Louisville Beauty Academy is the 2026 BBB Torch Award for Ethics winner in the Very Small Business category (1–10 employees), in the program serving Greater Kentucky and South Central Indiana. The award belongs to LBA; it is not a national ranking, accreditation, or guarantee of student outcomes.
One practical next step
Before relying on an AI-supported answer, identify its source, the person responsible for review, and the route for correcting an error.
