Abstract
In an evolving world driven by technology, artificial intelligence (AI) is leading the way in bringing about changes. In the field of education, AI holds the potential to revolutionize learning by offering curricula data-driven insights and unparalleled access to knowledge. However, amid all the excitement surrounding these advancements, a significant concern arises : one that addresses the implications of AI presence in our educational landscape. This concern revolves around the possibility of biases within AI systems, which could undermine the promise of an inclusive education for everyone.
The emergence of AI has sparked a growing awareness regarding biases that permeate aspects of our lives from social media feeds to hiring processes. However, the realm of education has largely remained unexplored in this regard until I decided to step forward. As an advocate, for fairness and equal opportunities, I decided to embark on a journey to uncover any biases embedded within the algorithms powering our virtual classrooms.
Through an exploration of the influence of AI on education, let’s embark on a journey, towards uncovering the reality behind prejudice navigating territories, and ensuring that the educational landscape empowered by AI fosters inclusivity and fairness.
Résumé
Dans un monde en évolution dominé par la technologie, l’intelligence artificielle (IA) ouvre la voie aux changements. Dans le domaine de l’éducation, l’IA a le potentiel de révolutionner l’apprentissage en offrant aux programmes des informations basées sur les données et un accès inégalé aux connaissances. Cependant, malgré l’enthousiasme suscité par ces avancées, une préoccupation majeure surgit : celle des implications de la présence de l’IA en éducation. Cette préoccupation tourne autour de la possibilité de biais au sein des systèmes d’IA, qui pourraient compromettre la promesse d’une éducation inclusive pour tous. L’émergence de l’IA a suscité une prise de conscience croissante des préjugés qui imprègnent certains aspects de nos vies. Quels sont les préjugés intégrés dans les algorithmes qui alimentent les classes ? Peut-on garantir que le système éducatif influencé par l’IA favorisera l’inclusion et l’équité ?
