Penn GSE Launches AI Bias Auditing Curriculum for High Schoolers
The University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education (Penn GSE) has introduced a novel curriculum, AI Auditing for High School. This initiative, backed by a $1 million donation from Google, aims to empower high school students to understand and critically evaluate biases in AI systems.
The curriculum, part of Penn GSE's AI in School Systems (PASS) program, requires no prior coding experience. It introduces students to the concept of algorithmic bias and guides them through practical audits of real-world AI applications. The four-lesson curriculum is supported by research articles, classroom videos, and news reports.
Yasmin B. Kafai, a professor at Penn GSE, believes this curriculum empowers students to become critical thinkers and ethical users of technology. She states, 'It's crucial for students to understand the potential biases in AI systems and learn how to evaluate them.' The Gates Foundation also supported the PASS program with a $1 million donation in 2026.
The AI Auditing for High School curriculum, launched by Penn GSE, equips students with the tools to understand and audit AI biases. Backed by significant donations from Google and the Gates Foundation, the PASS program continues to expand, offering a scalable, district-based model that aligns with local AI policies.
