Peg + Cat. The pizza problem
\"It's lunchtime at Peg's Pizza Place! Peg and Cat are excited to take their first order-- from the Teens!-- only to learn that some of their customers want a whole pizza while one of them wants half a pie. How can Peg and Cat make half a pie when they don't know what half is? Luckily, Ramone and Mac are there to help, with a slice up the middle of the pizza. As more customers come in, things get entertaining, with Peg singing a jazzy song and Cat doing a dance. But soon there's another problem: four orders, but only two and a half pizzas left. Peg is totally freaking out-- until Cat reminds her that when it comes to halves and wholes, it's all in how you slice it.\" --Publisher's web site.

Imagining technologies for disability futures
[...]the potential of future technologies in this area are found equally in engineering and product development laboratories or in care settings pioneering the use of assistive robotics, for example. The Perinatal Life Support project, coordinated by the Eindhoven University of Technology, is developing a perinatal life support system with the aim of potentially providing premature infants with a supply of oxygen and nutrients through the umbilical cord and an artificial placenta. [...]research aims to address premature infant death or the neurological or developmental complications that can be an outcome of extreme prematurity. In her view, “science fiction is the dress rehearsal for social change”.

Interrogating Algorithmic Bias: From Speculative Fiction to Liberatory Design
This paper reviews algorithmic or artificial intelligence (AI) bias in education technology, especially through the lenses of speculative fiction, speculative and liberatory design. It discusses the causes of the bias and reviews literature on various ways that algorithmic/AI bias manifests in education and in communities that are underrepresented in EdTech software development. While other recent work has responded to mainstream or private sector technology development, this review looks elsewhere where practitioners, artists, and activists engage underrepresented communities in brainstorming processes to identify and solve tough challenges. Their creative work includes films, toolkits, applications, prototypes and other physical artifacts, and other future-facing ideas that can provide guideposts for private sector development. Acknowledging the gaps in what has been studied, this paper proposes a different approach that includes speculative and liberatory design thinking, which can help developers better understand the educational and personal contexts of underrepresented groups. Early efforts to advocate for fairness and equity in AI and EdTech by groups such as the Algorithmic Justice League, the EdTech Equity Project, and EdSAFE AI Alliance is also explored.
