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.  \nThe Department’s Office of Educational Technology (OET) has released several resources which provide helpful information about the use of artificial intelligence in education settings that are available on OET’s website.  \nOCR enforces several federal civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination in programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance from the Department, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin; Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex; and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. iii OCR shares in the enforcement of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Title II) with the U.S. Department of Justice. Title II prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by state and local governments, regardless of whether or not those entities receive federal financial assistance. iv Each of the statutes OCR enforces and their implementing regulations also prohibits retaliation.v  \nThe nondiscrimination provisions of these federal civil rights laws apply to discrimination resulting from the use of AI. This resource provides information regarding federal civil rights laws in OCR’s jurisdiction and includes examples of types of incidents that could, depending on the facts and circumstances, present OCR with sufficient reason to open an investigation. Many of the examples included in this resource highlight conduct of schools and colleges that could also constitute discrimination without the use of AI technologies, but which may be compounded by its use. These examples are illustrative, nonexhaustive, and do not dictate the outcome of any particular matter OCR may investigate; rather, in each case, OCR engages in an individualized analysis of the particular facts at issue. OCR will open a case for investigation if the allegation(s) could state a violation of one of the laws or regulations that OCR enforces; this is an initial determination prior to investigation and not a finding or conclusion regarding  \nthe allegations. If OCR opens an investigation, any determination about whether discrimination has occurred or is occurring would depend on particular facts and circumstances.  \nThe contents of this guidance do not have the force and effect of law and do not bind the public or create new legal standards. This document is designed to provide clarity to the public regarding existing legal requirements under the civil rights laws that OCR enforces.  \nAnyone who believes that they or someone else has been discriminated against by a school or other recipient based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age canfile a complaint of discrimination with OCR using OCR’s Electronic Complaint Assessment System.  \nRace, Color, or National Origin Discrimination:  \nTitle VI states “n","cbCaimD3FB7tkLmB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimD3FB7tkLmB","pdf",559253,16,"English","# Overview\n## Artificial Intelligence and Nondiscrimination\n## OCR’s Enforcement Authorities\n## Individualized Assessment and Investigation Process\n# Legal Framework\n## Title VI\n## Title IX and Section 504\n## Retaliation Prohibitions\n# Guidance Examples\n## Race, Color, or National Origin Discrimination\n## English Learners Scenario","[{\"question\":\"What does OCR define as artificial intelligence (AI) in this guidance?\",\"answer\":\"AI is a machine-based system that, for given human-defined objectives, can make predictions, recommendations, or decisions affecting real or virtual environments.\"},{\"question\":\"When will OCR open an investigation based on an AI-related allegation?\",\"answer\":\"OCR will open a case if the allegation(s) could state a violation of a law or regulation OCR enforces.
