On November 19, 2024, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) released a new resource, “Avoiding the Discriminatory Use of Artificial Intelligence,” that seeks to assist school communities in understanding how AI technologies, which have the potential to enhance educational opportunities, can also contribute to discrimination depending on how they are designed or used.  The resource was published in response to Executive Order 14110: Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence, and provides information on the legal analyses the OCR uses to determine whether discrimination exists and various examples of conduct that could constitute discrimination. The resource explores the role of AI in race, color, or national origin discrimination, sex discrimination, disability discrimination, and multiple bases of discrimination.
