ED Issues Guidance on the Use of Federal Grant Funds to Support Learner Outcomes with AIIn response to President Trump's April 23 Executive Order on advancing AI education, the United States Department of Education has issued new guidance on how K-12 and higher education institutions may use federal grant funds "to support improved outcomes for learners through the responsible integration of artificial intelligence." The guidance focuses on three primary use cases: AI-based high-quality instructional materials, AI-enhanced high-impact tutoring, and AI for college and career pathway exploration, advising, and navigation. "Artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize education and support improved outcomes for learners," said Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, in a statement. Today's guidance also emphasizes the importance of parent and teacher engagement in guiding the ethical use of AI and using it as a tool to support individualized learning and advancement. By teaching about AI and foundational computer science while integrating AI technology responsibly, we can strengthen our schools and lay the foundation for a stronger, more competitive economy."
