The Flexible Learning for Open Education (FLOE) project has put together a collection of articles on AI in education from a set of well-known education and edtech writers. From OpenStax (now in a partnership with Google) Richard Baraniuk writes, "to create Responsible AI for education, we must build it on an open, equitable foundation." Beth Rabbitt suggests AI should be a public good for education. Jutta Treviranus warns "Because AI is a powerful statistical pattern replicator, it is poised to make every other harm even worse for people who are already struggling," calling this phenomenon 'statistical discrimination'. Anne-Marie Scott points to legal issues and references the OSI definition of 'open AI'. Sarah Johnson focuses on he usability of AI products. And so on, with more authors. FLOE is a project of from The Inclusive Design Research Centre and OCAD University.
