Summary: IDRC's Jutta Treviranus has contributed this article to our FLOE project's AI in Education collection, supported by the Hewlett Foundation in partnership with Etika Insights. Jutta's article warns that current AI systems, powered by statistical reasoning, risk amplifying existing inequities and discoursing diversity. Her piece serves as a vital reminder that AI’s promise of personalized learning must be balanced against its potential to enforce normalization and eliminate valuable differences among learners. The AI in Education collection examines AI’s role in education, highlighting both opportunities and risks while emphasizing the importance of responsible implementation.
