Engagement Will Increase Access to AI Bias Mitigation for Thousands of Educational Institutions

, /PRNewswire/ -- Latimer.AI, the first inclusive Large Language Model (LLM), and Grammarly, the trusted AI assistant for communication and productivity, announced today a partnership to provide Grammarly for Education customers with exclusive access to the two services, which together can improve writing quality and cultural awareness, helping institutions enhance student success and drive inclusive learning outcomes, without sacrificing usability or scale. The partnership will roll out in phases, with increasing collaboration across product, go-to-market, and educational impact initiatives over the coming year.

"At Grammarly, we've been committed to the responsible use of AI in education since our founding in 2009," says Jenny Maxwell, Head of Education at Grammarly. "Our partnership with Latimer helps us further demonstrate this commitment by providing an inclusive LLM to the more than 3,000 educational institutions we work with, supporting equity efforts in higher education."

Latimer utilizes a Retrieval Augmented Generation ("RAG") mode and is the premier online Artificial Intelligence resource for accurate historical information and bias-free interaction. Unlike other LLMs, Latimer uses licensed and exclusive content from esteemed sources, such as the New York Amsterdam News, which is the second-oldest Black newspaper published in the United States, to build its training platform.

"Our collaboration with Grammarly reflects a shared commitment to equipping the next generation with the tools they need to write with confidence, think critically, and share their voices with the world," says Latimer CEO, John Pasmore. "Additionally, Grammarly for Education's focus on providing writing support is complementary to what we're building, and reinforces the idea that writers need not become overly reliant on AI, but rather that AI is a tool that augments without replacing the work of real people."

As a customer of both Grammarly and Latimer, Dr. Robert MacAuslan, VP of AI at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) adds, "As the largest university in the U.S. [more than 200,000 learners] with an incredibly diverse student body, we recognize two essential truths about artificial intelligence: first, that AI literacy and exposure are critical to student success; and second, that these tools inherently reflect the biases of those who design and maintain them. Acknowledging this means that we have a responsibility to equip our learners with technologies that minimize bias and to teach them how to use these tools ethically and effectively. Our partnership with Latimer marks a meaningful step in that direction—providing students with a safe, trustworthy AI platform built on inclusive, ethically sourced training data. With Latimer, SNHU can confidently offer AI resources that better represent and support all our students."

As LLMs evolve, Latimer's platform can provide a solution. By deploying a more diverse database that works in concert with foundation models, Latimer is working to mitigate bias.
