5 Minutes with Ryan Baker on Bias in Artificial Intelligence

On today's episode, we sat down with Ryan Baker, an Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania and directs the Penn Center for Learning Analytics. In Ryan’s work he’s done much research and analysis on the impact on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education and how it impacts a range of learners. We asked him a few questions specific to students with disabilities and how we can analyze AI’s ability to help all students. A few of the questions discussed were ‘what impact does bias truly have on AI and ‘what opportunities are there for individuals with disabilities with current and future AI.’
