The International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning has published a special issue on Artificial Intelligence in Open and Distributed Learning containing a mind-numbing 20 papers. I link to four of them (I'm not linking to papers on teacher or student perceptions, or review papers). None of the papers deals specifically with open and distributed learning.

What we can conclude from the first paper is that if you do the same thing with a human and an AI, you'll get the same result. "Even in today's conditions, there is no difference in performance between human and AI-generated instructors." The paper sampled results from 108 students and concludes "AI-generated video lectures, produced quickly and at a low cost, can be used instead of videos with human instructors provided certain conditions and improvements are met and made.
