Cambridge, Keynote Speech delivered on: 1. Inclusivity is usually not a primary reason for design, but an after-the-fact consideration when designing AI applications meant to address a completely different challenge. 2. A significant portion of the training set for AI application is populated by experiences of white students and white educators- naturally, there are more white students and staff than non-white in western education institutions. Any inclusive design will require the training set to be evenly distributed. 3. In assessment grading, how do existing applications ‘clean’ or avoid bias in their training set. Is there a need to ‘create’ a non-biased training set in a more targeted manner? How can that be achieved? 4.
