Risks of AI Foundation Models in Education
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
If the authors of a recent Stanford report (Bommasani et al., 2021) on the opportunities and risks of "foundation models" are to be believed, these models represent a paradigm shift for AI and for the ...
Although the name is new (and contested (Field, 2021)), the term describes existing types of algorithmic models that are "trained on broad data at scale" and "fine-tuned" (i.e., adapted) for particular ...
In part, the proposed application of foundation models for education brings with it risks for reproducing and amplifying the existing inequitable status quo in education, as well as risks of reproducing ...
