[Year 12 IT Apps] OT but interesting - re AI

[timmer at westnet.com.au]

Hello all
Not directly related to the Computing study design but an issue that
we as educators should be aware of, both as part of teaching about
issues related to AI (and its growing use) and from the point of view
of what kind of information do our students get from search engines
and so-called bots.An ABC Radio National program called 'Science
Friction' (Sundays, 10.30 am) ran a story this week that's worth a
listen to.Audio downloadable
from http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/sciencefriction/chatbot-mania-and-algorithms-of-oppression/8782854
Just as a taster, try entering 'Professional haircuts' into Google
image search. Then try 'Unprofessional haircuts'.
RegardsRobert T-A
