Automated Bias Assessment in AI-Generated Educational Content Using CEAT Framework
This addresses ethical concerns in educational materials for tutors, though it is incremental as it builds on existing bias detection frameworks.
The study tackled the problem of biases in AI-generated educational content by proposing an automated assessment method, achieving a high correlation (r = 0.993) with manual curation for reliable bias detection.
Recent advances in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) have transformed educational content creation, particularly in developing tutor training materials. However, biases embedded in AI-generated content--such as gender, racial, or national stereotypes--raise significant ethical and educational concerns. Despite the growing use of GenAI, systematic methods for detecting and evaluating such biases in educational materials remain limited. This study proposes an automated bias assessment approach that integrates the Contextualized Embedding Association Test with a prompt-engineered word extraction method within a Retrieval-Augmented Generation framework. We applied this method to AI-generated texts used in tutor training lessons. Results show a high alignment between the automated and manually curated word sets, with a Pearson correlation coefficient of r = 0.993, indicating reliable and consistent bias assessment. Our method reduces human subjectivity and enhances fairness, scalability, and reproducibility in auditing GenAI-produced educational content.
