Machine Bots work by training them on data sets.  The example in the video was training a bot to identify fish versus other objects.  Bias can an issue because these bots rely on the person that is training them and their biases can be transferred to the toll simply by how they train them.

Khanmigo is an example of a tool that is built specifically for classroom use.  It becomes a teaching assistant for teachers giving you easy access to information you need. it can reteach you some information you may need to brush up on and a bunch of other tools that can help you with time.

I think that using AI in this way is probably the best entry point for educators.  Who doesn't want to save time? Once you get comfortable with what these tools can do well, you can start to think about ways that they may be helpful for your students.
