AI in The Field: Bias and Discrimination

About this episode

This episode discusses updates in AI technology and its implications in education, focusing on bias and discrimination.

In this special anniversary episode, we’ll catch you up to speed on some fascinating updates from the field, including deciphering ancient Roman scrolls, Google's pause on its image generator due to concerning results, and OpenAI's latest innovations, including memory and incognito modes as well as the pre-release of Sora, their newest model for creating images and videos. This episode is not just about the tech – I’ll fill you in on how I rolled out generative AI to my own students starting as early as first grade with a focus on teaching them about AI bias, discrimination, and misinformation right from the very start, turning them into detectives of their AI-generated creations.
