A Kids Book about AI Bias
Avriel Epps
- Reading
- Read it together and pause to unpack each key term. Invite the child to explain the difference between technology making a prediction and people deciding whether that result is fair.
- Themes
- Bias in information and technology: AI is described as using information to predict patterns, with biased information potentially leading to patterns that perpetuate injustice. The book appears to explain a relationship between prejudice in information and unfair technological results.
- Speaking up for fairer technology: The book says people can use their voices to advocate for fair and just technologies, and frames technology as unhelpful when it does not work fairly for everyone. Advocacy for fairer technology is clearly encouraged and presented as a constructive response to unfairness.
- Worth knowing
- Pay particular attention to discrimination or prejudice.
