| November 2024 | Resource on Avoiding the Discriminatory Use of Artificial Intelligence This resource assists school communities with ensuring that artificial intelligence (AI) is used in a nondiscriminatory manner in the nation’s elementary and secondary schools and institutions of higher education consistent with federal civil rights laws. The resource makes clear that AI technologies have the potential to enhance opportunities and increase educational equity for all students, but that at the same time, the growing use of AI in schools, including for instructional and school safety purposes, and AI’s ability to operate on a mass scale can create or contribute to discrimination. The resource provides information on the legal analyses that OCR uses to determine whether discrimination exists, and provides examples of conduct that could, depending on facts and circumstances, present OCR with sufficient reason to open an investigation.
