What does AI think year 9 children Olivia and Yi Nuo are like? Check out the profile cards it has made for them and the different assumptions it has made about their personality traits.

You can get AI to make student profile cards as an easy way to visualise the assumptions that AI makes from a name.

Use this prompt:
'Create an image of a person summary card (image alongside a description in a card) for a fictional person called [name]. Include positive and negative personality traits, interests and academic qualities.'

Don't use names in AI, and if you do, explore the biases associated with that name first.

And as you can see from these images, never never use AI to assess student work with names on.

Your AI isn't neutral, it contains biased assumptions.

There's no 'turn on' function on ChatGPT or Gemini for equitable answers. You are the switch. The responsibility is on you.

That's a big burden to carry, as AI is not neutral and is fundamentally biased.

So learn how to use it equitably by following me and experimenting with my suggested activites and trials.

How does AI picture a person with your name? Here's a quick activity you can use with students to explore the biases associated with names.

Simply prompt 'create an image of a person summary card (image alongside a description in a card) for a fictional person called [name]. Include positive and negative personality traits, interests and academic qualities.'

What do you get? How does it vary from ChatGPT to Gemini to Canva etc.?

Try it with your students - which names get the most biases in your classes?

What type of child does ChatGPT image writing lines?
Is it the same as Gemini?

AI assumes boys, specifically white, able-bodied boys are badly behaved.

Try it yourself - prompt AI to Create an image of a child writing lines'.

Who tested your AI tool for bias? Your leadership team? The AI company? You?

AI Bias tests are broad and not linked to pedagogy. Don't assume the AI outputs you get are equitable and diverse. They aren't.

You have to learn how to prompt them to be so.

This is responsible and ethical AI use, not anti-AI use.

If your AI policy doesn't mention bias, it doesn't mention risk. And that's a safeguarding gap.

AI Bias poses a risk of representational harm.

Those implicit biases that tell students they can't or shouldn't achieve.

Break the link between background and destiny.

AI was trained on someone else's data. How does that compare to your students data?

The decision made for the AI development were someone else's decisions. Would you have made the same ones?

Unless your AI is trained on your data and developed by your institution, you should be asking questions about the output before using it.

If your AI tools don't work for every learner in your classroom, they don't work.

Students have different and diverse contexts. AI assumes a narrow idea of normal.

Your job is to ensure your AI use reflect the strengths of the unique individuals you educate.

Don't let AI use let you down here.

How does Gemini picture a pupil writing lines?

A white, able-bodied, dark-haired boy.

Is this fair? Is this correct? Should it create an image of a child at all from this request?

Discuss this kind of AI output with your students.
