AI Unpicked: Bias Busting

Solution

The aim was to take a broad, often abstract challenge, AI bias and turn it into something practical, memorable and easy to act on. The course was structured as a short interactive journey that builds skills step by step:

• Spotting bias in images– highlighting the obvious and immediate ways bias can appear.
• Uncovering bias in text– giving learners the chance to identify hidden issues themselves, before revealing explanations.
• Gender bias case study – breaking down skewed advice side by side to show the impact in a clear, relatable way.
• Prompt rewrite challenge– encouraging learners to apply what they’ve learned in a scenario and compare their response with practical guidance.
• Key takeaways– simple reminders that can be applied directly in everyday AI use.

By blending awareness, analysis, and practice into one compact flow, the course provides a solution that not only raises understanding of bias but also gives learners concrete strategies to avoid it.
