q1 i? The dominance of pedagogy and technical topics, and the small share of practical implementation concerns, may reflect algorithmic amplification and de-prioritization shaping who participates in AI education governance discussions. → Bagale 2025

Evidence¶

Bagale 2025¶

Bagale, A.; Mehjabin, N.; Ünlü, A.; Johri, A. (2025). A Longitudinal Analysis of Public Discourse on AI Ethics in Education Using Twitter Data. https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.12295 doi:10.48550/arxiv.2607.12295

q1 · i? · associational · r1

The authors' interpretive discussion (not a tested result) linking topic distribution to platform algorithmic curation. They suggest "algorithmic de-prioritization of mundane institutional challenges" may exclude classroom teachers and students from governance conversations.

"The under -representation of practical implementation concerns (Topic 4, 8.4%) may reflect algorithmic de-prioritization of mundane institutional challenges in favour of more engaging aspirational or controversial content."
