21 4.2 Positionality Statement

A note about the author in this section: I am a Canadian-born Pakistani Muslim who grew up in the 1990s and early 2000s. Technology has developed rapidly in front of me, and I have always understood it well. In my professional career, I have always seemed to be some form of educator despite initially trying to get into the film industry. I have been surrounded by technology all my life and have always been willing and eager to learn how to use newer technologies. My current fascination with technology is related to Generative AI and its complexities within the field of education. To further focus on this, I am even more fascinated with how best to utilize Generative AI to improve the work-life balance for teachers. As someone who utilizes AI and sees it as a tool that can improve life going forward when used correctly, there will likely be some level of bias that will promote the use of Generative AI.
