In this rare solo hosting event, Edita Bandur (Business English Teacher) welcomes educator and AI advocate Jon Fila for an in-depth exploration of artificial intelligence bias in education, recorded on November 25th 2024, during LinkedIn's audio event era. Seen and Heard started as an unrecorded LinkedIn audio-only live show, and this was a rare recorded episode.

Jon shares his 26-year teaching journey, from traditional classrooms to online learning environments, detailing his evolution into AI education. Through candid discussion, he reveals early mistakes with AI detection tools and how they disproportionately flagged non-native English speakers and students on the autism spectrum, highlighting the importance of recognizing inherent biases in both technology and ourselves.

The conversation becomes particularly valuable when Jon demonstrates practical prompting techniques for creating more inclusive AI responses, including his emotional prompting strategies and the systematic approach needed to counteract default biases in large language models.

Key moments:

• How early AI detection tools perpetuated educational biases
• Practical strategies for prompting AI tools toward more inclusive responses
• The reality of grading in the AI era: looking for humanity over polish
• Creating accessibility through AI while maintaining critical thinking
• Measuring success through individual student stories rather than metrics

A thoughtful conversation for educators grappling with AI integration, administrators developing AI policies, and anyone interested in using technology tools more ethically and inclusively in educational settings.
