FLCC presenter recommends practical bias mitigations: Nightshade, Latimer, NotebookLM and prompting

Finger Lakes Community College (FLCC) webinar: AI & Bias · August 19, 2026

Summary

Gadoo recommended a toolkit approach: defensive image tools (Nightshade), inclusive models (Latimer), source‑controllable assistants (NotebookLM), running LLMs locally where feasible, and human review plus careful prompting to reduce bias risks.

In the webinar, Gadoo outlined practical steps for creators and organizations to reduce bias. For image creators he described Nightshade, a tool that perturbs image pixels to prevent inclusion in large training corpora; for model selection he highlighted 'Latimer' as an example of an inclusive‑focused commercial model.

He also recommended NotebookLM for source‑controllable research workflows, advised running local LLMs where privacy and control are priorities, and reiterated simple user practices: do not put PII in prompts, use targeted prompting to avoid stereotyped outputs, and review AI outputs before sharing. Ortloff and Gadoo encouraged attendees to sign up for follow‑up sessions and resources.
