The Tattoo and the Algorithm: Race, Remembrance, and AI Education - Kamau Bobb

Descriere The Tattoo and the Algorithm: Race, Remembrance, and AI Education - Kamau Bobb

A meditation on race, technology, and the fight for equitable education \nEducated citizens are the lifeforce of democracy. Across all aspects of modern life, and especially in education, AI is raising existential questions. Like any new technology, it is both transformative and problematic. \n \nIn this smart exploration of tech, race, and society, Dr. Kamau Bobb meditates on the convergence of American memory and the promises of AI in education. At this critical milestone in American history, this book argues that enthusiasm and clamor for AI are a veil for the vacuous neglect of our nation's racist past. Bobb encourages readers to pause and examine the actual foundation on top of which the grand claims of AI's potential in education are being built, raising questions like: \n \n\n \n- How does AI change the fundamental structure of American education? \n- How does the application of AI enabled tools affect educational outcomes in schools that are profoundly segregated? \n- When the purveyors of these technologies claim that they will close gaps and improve the educational experience for all students, what does that really mean? \nAmerican educational history is overflowing with abuse, segregation, substandard structures, and smoldering scorn. This book grapples with the challenges ahead in achieving equitable education as AI transforms and the nation retracts. At this convergence of technology and racial backlash in education, Bobb provides lessons from America's past to light the path ahead.
