So we’ve been cooking up some thoughts on Gen AI at @amnesty.org and I’m ecstatic to finally see it out in the world! Our 🗝️ conclusion: standalone gen AI systems, built on unlawful web scraping, constitute mass invasions of privacy by design & should be prohibited www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

AI in education = commercialisation of a collective responsibility outsourcing a social, civic, and democratic process of cultivating the coming generation to commercial and capitalist enterprise whose priority is profit

A much-needed piece of conceptual work that draws on #Biesta 's theory of educational purpose to develop a model aimed at protecting #teacheragency in an era of strong #techno-push. I loved reading it, and it aligns with the line of argument I developed in my dissertation. doi.org/10.1016/j.ca...

How do Swiss vocational school principals justify #digitalization? We found that pedagogical justifications dominate, but these are combined with industry, project & market logics. Civic & #sustainability justifications were s surprisingly rare. doi.org/10.1080/1363... #EdTech #VocationalEducation

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI

Rather than promoting equity, educators' and students' use of #GenAI reproduces traditional gender stereotypes. Furthermore, teachers' views on the future of education are underrepresented in #ChatGPT training data. You can find my slides at: openeducationday.ch/programm-202... #OpenEdu

The way students and teachers use #GenAI in Swiss upper secondary schools reproduces gender stereotypes. Furthermore, a frequent use of GenAI at school is associated with cheating. Only a critical, reflective educational approach to GenAI correlates with its responsible use. doi.org/10.64829/15177

One important thing these testimonies reinforce is the huge gap between how AI could be used and how it is likely to be used. The idea that "embracing" AI would solve all problems is just silly. Choosing to teach with AI vs. dealing with how it is likely to be used are very different challenges.

Current #digitalcitizenship education often focuses narrowly on tech skills & safety, missing the bigger picture of citizenship. This study from Germany proposes a comprehensive framework (Infra-DC) to equip people not just to thrive but to critically shape digital & democratic societies. 📢🧑🏾‍💻🌍

🟨New Publication in #LMT 🟪 In this paper @ameliajohns.bsky.social, Harris, Booth, @gilbertcaluya.bsky.social & Walton show a gap between how #DigitalCitizenship is framed in Australian schools + how diaspora youth conceptualise it through the lens of their own needs. Read more tinyurl.com/2djwfbfm

Beyond risk: reducing the gap between diaspora youth digital
citizenship needs and school curricula
by Amelia Johns, Anita Harris, Emily Booth, Gilbert Caluya and Jessica Walton
ABSTRACT
Young people’s digital citizenship education has often been approached
from a risk perspective with less attention given to how young people use
digital technologies to positively engage with social issues and citizenship
practices. Diaspora youth are further stigmatised, being defined as ‘at-risk’
of greater harm from digital environments, which frames them as victims
or non-agentic. This article draws on qualitative research with diaspora
youth, as well as policymakers and educators, about their digital
citizenship education needs, practices and views. We explore their
perceptions of digital citizenship: as a concept and practice, and also its
place and framing within Australian school education. The findings
reflect a disconnect between diaspora youth and key stakeholders
regarding the purpose and benefits of digital citizenship education. This
illustrates a need for a more nuanced approach that takes diaspora
youths’ own experiences, needs and aspirations seriously in the design
of school curricula.

If, like me, you're often asked about alternatives to Big Tech's AI, then this report on "AI technology that’s informed and guided by the principles of decoloniality, feminism, antiracist, and post-capitalist AI systems" from @schock.cc and co-authors may be of interest to you:

What if we could redefine AI? What if we could shift its production from a capitalist model to a more disruptive, inclusive, and decentralized one?

We asked 2'247 teachers whether they covered topics such as the ethical issues of automation or #medialiteracy in class. We then looked at what factors predicted these actions. We found that teachers' belief in their responsibility and competence are crucial. High-tech classrooms aren't the key. ✨🧠👩🏼‍🏫
