The Tragedy of AI (and what to do about it)

Thought I’d share “The Tragedy of AI (and what to do about it)” an essay blog post I’ve written to accompany a presentation I’m doing Monday June 23, 2025 at the Association of Learning Technology (ALT) Open Education Conference (OER25) in London England. In it I try to encapsulate the fatal flaws of AI that directly pertain to open. I also suggest some actions we could take. It’s provocative in keeping with the theme for the ALT conference " Speaking Truth to Power: Open Education and AI in the Age of Populism".
