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".
