School districts and institutions of higher education are
currently grappling with how to utilize artificial intelligence
(AI) to support student learning while also protecting students
from unintended consequences of the technology. While many
conversations about AI in education focus on how to ensure students
do not use AI to cheat, educators recognize there are a number of
legitimate uses of AI in education, such as technologies to combat
learning loss, check in on students that may be falling behind, or
advise students on how to sequence their course schedules.
In light of these potential uses of AI in education contexts,
President Biden’s AI executive order (EO) directs the
Department of Education (DOE) to develop resources and guidance for
the education sector within a year of the EO’s enactment, which
will consider how to develop and deploy AI in a safe, responsible,
and nondiscriminatory way that considers the impact of AI systems
on “vulnerable and underserved communities.” As part of
these resources, the DOE will work with stakeholders to develop an
“AI toolkit” for education leaders, which was something
the DOE was already working on as part of the recommendations from
its May 2023 Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Teaching
and Learning report.
Outside of the DOE’s role, the EO also includes several
provisions aimed at providing resources related to the workforce
that will be impacted by AI implementation. Similar to the
education context, there are a number of areas where AI will help
the workforce in a myriad of ways, but there are other ways in
which the workforce may be disrupted by the use of AI. To address
these issues, the EO directs the National Science Foundation to
foster a “diverse AI-ready workforce” by prioritizing
resources to support AI-related education and AI-related workforce
development initiatives through existing programs. Also, within 180
days of the EO’s enactment, the Secretary of the Department of
Labor must develop best practices for organizations on how to
integrate AI into the workforce, as well as submit a separate
report analyzing how federal agencies will support workers who are
displaced by AI.
