I appreciate that this article makes clear the risks that administration will no longer see the necessity of writing centers and also makes clear what crucial role writing centers play in AI literacy. Glad to be interviewed by @maggie_hickss along with @SarahZJohnson1 and @swynner. edsurge.com/news/2024-08-12-…

Evidence to share with students in writing classroom discussions of linguistic bias. This study provides evidence for human bias and the way in which AI exacerbates the bias in its training data.
💥 New paper 💥 We discover a form of covert racism in LLMs that is triggered by dialect features alone, with massive harms for affected groups. For example, GPT-4 is more likely to suggest that defendants be sentenced to death when they speak African American English. 🧵

Please browse, comment, and add your experiences! exploringaipedagogy.hcommons… Thanks to task force members and MLA staff @lizlosh @hollyjhassel Angela Gibson @AnatoleShukla @SarahZJohnson1 Kofi Adisa David Green @mkirschenbaum @DrAntoniowrites @leohackeur A.

From my smart friend and colleague
Someone asked what I would say to faculty who are very resistant to teaching with AI. I don't think we all have to teach with it. But we should teach about it! Students need guidance as it becomes widespread. Your wisdom as an educator is valuable. #CriticalAILiteracy #AIliteracy

As humanists read other papers in STEM to think about critical AI literacies, we should discern junk studies
This field is such junk pseudo science at this point. Which other field has its equivalent of Nobel prize winners going absolutely bonkers? Between him and Hinton and Yoshua Bengio (his brother has the complete opposite view at least) clown town is getting crowded.
