About
Who might be left out when GenAI tools enter the classroom and how do we make sure no learner is?
I’m Victoria Hedlund, aka ‘The AI Bias Girl‘ for my focus on biases in generative AI, and named by LinkedIn as a Top 12 AI Voice to follow in Europe. I founded GenEd Labs.ai to help educators use GenAI ethically, inclusively, and with clear pedagogical intent.
My research focuses on emergent bias in GenAI outputs, designing practical frameworks for teacher oversight and working in partnership with schools, universities, local authorities and Edtech to embed socially equitable GenAI practice. I also convene the nationwide TeacherEd AI Network (TEAN), exploring GenAI use in Teacher Education (ITE & CPD).
My journey blends science and creativity: a Physics degree from Warwick, fine-art study, climate-dynamics research at Oxford, and a PhD in progress on generative art and physics education. I began as a physics teacher, moved into teacher-education, and branched into supporting diverse settings across education in the UK.
My research focuses on the pedagogical weight of words used in AI inputs, exploring what impact prompting has on specific pedagogical uses. My research ‘Gender equity in GenAI science explanations‘ published in the Association for Science Education’s journal SSR can be found here.
I write, speak, and advise widely. I am the editor of AI Bias in Education, author of 100 Quick GenAI Prompts for Teachers and Educators, member of Oxford University’s AIEOU network, regular contributor to AI-in-education conferences, and author of the chapter on bias in The Educators AI Guide 2026.
Quick Facts
- Led classroom trials exposing gender bias in AI-generated science explanations
- Creator of Bias Bytes, a newsletter that helps educators spot bias and maintain critical oversight of AI tools
- Built LessonInspector.ai, a free service that audits AI-generated lesson plans for alignment and bias
- Favourite prompt phrase: ‘what assumptions have you made here?’
Every project, publication, and partnership circles back to that opening question - because the future of GenAI in education must be one where no learner is left out.
