One example of bias I can relate to in our Nepalese education context is the use of AI tools that mostly understand English but sometimes fail to understand Nepali words, local languages and our cultural context. For example, when students ask questions about local food, festivals or traditional practices, AI may give incomplete or incorrect answers because it has more information about Western contexts.

Affected dimension:

Language and geography.

I think this is unfair because students from rural areas and those who are more comfortable with Nepali or other local languages may not get the same quality of information as English-speaking students. It can create a gap in learning opportunities.

My response as a teacher:

 I will encourage students to use both Nepali and English while learning, compare AI answers with textbooks and local knowledge, and discuss where AI might be wrong. I believe our local language, culture and knowledge should also have a place in digital learning.
