The current study extends prior research conducted six months ago to address equitable access to Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools for minority groups involved in STEM education and workforce preparation. This extension reinforces the importance of inclusive access and broadens the focus to examine the challenges and opportunities of emerging AI technologies from 2020 to 2024. The main objective is to explore how these tools can bridge the disparities that underrepresented minorities face, thereby fostering inclusion in the evolving STEM workforce. This study's fundamental research question is: "How can equitable access to AI tools be ensured for minority students while preparing them for the STEM workforce?"'
