Key Insight

Algorithmic bias in education is particularly dangerous because it can be invisible — a student routed to easier content, a teacher's assessment overridden, or a recommendation withheld — all without anyone realising the system is making different decisions for different groups. The first step to addressing bias is making it visible.
