PROOF POINTS: Asian American students lose more points in an AI essay grading study — but researchers don't know why
The testing organization that administers the SAT analyzed more than 13,000 essays
ETS’s researchers had asked GPT-4o to score the essays cold, without showing the chatbot any graded examples to calibrate its scores. It’s possible that a few sample essays or small tweaks to the grading instructions, or prompts, given to ChatGPT could reduce or eliminate the bias against Asian Americans. Perhaps the robot would be fairer to Asian Americans if it were explicitly prompted to “give out more perfect 6s.”

The only alternative, of course, is education. Deciding when “safe enough” is safe enough means coming to faster conclusions about the risks and social norms surrounding generative AI. Everyone involved in education – schools, universities, parents, staff, and the broader community – needs to be aware of the potential risks, and to educate students accordingly.
Artificial Intelligence, Real Anxiety
How should educators use AI to prepare students for the future?
“I’m concerned that my schools aren’t embracing AI or teaching us how to use it,” said Jared Peterson, a senior at Allen High School in Allen, Tx. “For example, all eight of my teachers have warned us that we can’t use AI for any of our schoolwork. Only one of the eight has encouraged us to experiment with AI, but not on schoolwork. … [And] one of my teachers did a presentation on both the benefits and the dark side of AI technology, but focused more on the dark side of AI.”
Writing is a technology that restructures thought — and in an AI age, universities need to teach it more
