AI as the New Gatekeeper: Whose Knowledge the Model Was Built to See

from Cultural Context of Knowledge Hosted by Dr. Donald Easton-Brooks

The newest gatekeeper between learners and what they are trying to know is a model that fills silence with fluent invention. This episode names confabulation as a patterned harm — the model is most confident about exactly the knowledge traditions the written record under-represents — and asks what culturally responsive AI accountability, drawing on Ladson-Billings, Gay, Paris, and the CARE Principles, would actually require.
