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, often called Bias Girl for my work uncovering hidden biases in generative AI. 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, and local authorities to embed socially equitable GenAI practice. I also convene the nationwide TeacherEd AI Network (TEAN), where initial-teacher-education colleagues to co-create a GenAI-in-ITE framework grounded in real-world practice.
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.
I write, speak, and advise widely. I am the author of 100 Quick GenAI Prompts for Teachers and Educators, member of the AIEOU network, regular contributor to AI-in-education conferences, and author of the chapter on bias in The AI Classroom: Teaching & Learning in the Artificial Intelligence Revolution (Thirdbox, 2025).
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.
