The analyses included 166 courses from 105 universities around the world. Building on the uncovered patterns, we distil a model of current pedagogical practice, the BAG model (Build, Assess, and Govern), that combines cognitive levels, course content, and disciplines. The study critically assesses the implications of this teaching paradigm and challenges practitioners to reflect on their practices and move beyond stereotypes and biases.","doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2023/780","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2023/780","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2023/0780.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2023/780.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2023/bibtex/780","volume":{"slug":"2023","title":"Proceedings of the Thirty-Second International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2023","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2023/","year":2023,"location":"Macao, SAR","dates":"19-25 August 2023","editors":"Edith Elkind","isbn":"978-1-956792-03-4","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization","doi_prefix":"10.24963/ijcai.2023"},"section":"Journal Track","track":"Journal Track","number":780,"pages":{"first":6905,"last":6909},"keywords":["Data Mining: DM: Exploratory data mining","AI Ethics, Trust, Fairness: General","Data Mining: General"],"videos":[],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"[Ahmad, 2014] Farooq Ahmad.
