ChatGPT has garnered unprecedented popularity since its release in November 2022. This artificial intelligence (AI) large language model (LLM) is designed to generate human-like text based on patterns found in massive amounts of data scraped from the internet. ChatGPT is significantly different from previous versions of GPT by its quality of…

In this article, we explore the concept of a "hidden curriculum" within generative AI, specifically Large Language Models (LLMs), and its intersection with the hidden curriculum in education. We highlight how AI, trained on biased human data, can perpetuate societal inequities and discriminatory practices despite appearing objective. We…
