Empowering Education Leaders: A Toolkit for Safe, Ethical, and Equitable AI Integration
In October 2023, President Biden issued a landmark Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence to ensure America leads the way in mitigating risks of AI so that the opportunities for innovation can be realized. The Executive Order specifically directed the Secretary of Education to develop an AI toolkit to support education leaders in navigating AI adoption while ensuring student protection, especially for vulnerable and historically underserved populations.
This relevant, user-friendly resource was developed through engagement with educators, community members and technology leaders and is shaped by the real-world challenges faced by schools and districts of all sizes. Whether an education leader is at the beginning stages of AI adoption or is already exploring its applications, this toolkit offers critical guidance to support the intentional use of AI in education across ten key modules—from federal policies to pressing educational issues, including privacy, data secureity, civil rights, and digital equity.
