AI in Education highly responsible for creating unbiased EdTech

AI in Education highly responsible for creating unbiased EdTech | EdTech: The New Normal | Scoop.it

Student discrimination based on racial bias affects the education environment largely, causing the black and brown students to fall back, while the white students inculcate toxicity in them as they grow up watching racial bias in education.

I’ve been pondering this question: What if the resignation of teachers all across the land leads us to AI and the metaverse as the only solution? What if no one wants to teach anymore? What if it’s easier to craft computer programs just to teach what we want students to know? What if an algorithm is just simpler?
