Warr & Heath, https://doi.org/10.1177/00224871251325073 LINK: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00224871251325073 Abstract: In this article, we explore the concept of a “hidden curriculum” within generative AI, specifically Large Language Models (LLMs), and its intersection with the hidden curriculum in education. We highlight how AI, trained on biased human data, can perpetuate societal inequities and discriminatory practices despite appearing objective. We present a technology audit that examines how LLMs score and provide feedback on student writing samples paired with student descriptions. Findings reveal that LLMs exhibit implicit biases, such as assigning lower scores when students are said to attend an “inner-city school” or prefer rap music.…

ArsTechnica. Benj Edwards. March 3, 2025. https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/03/researchers-surprised-to-find-less-educated-areas-adopting-ai-writing-tools-faster Excerpt: Since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, experts have debated how widely AI language models would impact the world. A few years later, the picture is getting clear. According to new Stanford University-led research examining over 300 million text samples across multiple sectors, AI language models now assist in writing up to a quarter of professional communications. It’s having a large impact, especially in less-educated parts of the United States. “Our study shows the emergence of a new reality in which firms, consumers and even international organizations substantially rely on generative…
