Suitable for 14-19-year olds (secondary and high schools, and college), this article and accompanying activity sheet can be used in the classroom, STEM clubs and at home. This resource links to KS4 and KS5/Grade 9-10 and Grade 11-12 Computing and ICT. It can also be used as a careers resource and links to Gatsby Benchmarks (UK): Gatsby Benchmark 2: Learning from career and labour market information Gatsby Benchmark 4: Linking curriculum learning to careers • This teaching resource explains the work of Professor Linglong Kong and Professor Bei Jiang from the University of Alberta in Canada. They are developing bias-free artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that will promote equality in labour markets. • This resource also contains interviews with Linglong and Bei and offers an insight into careers in AI research. If your students have questions for Linglong and Bei, they can send them through the Futurum Careers website. • The activity sheet provides ‘talking points’ (based on Bloom’s Taxonomy) to prompt students to reflect on Linglong and Bei’s research and challenges them to consider how AI could help humans overcome their biases. This resource was first published by Futurum Careers, a free online resource and magazine aimed at encouraging 14-19-year-olds worldwide to pursue careers in science, tech, engineering, maths, medicine (STEM) and social sciences, humanities and the arts for people and the economy (SHAPE).
