Exploring Emerging Dimensions: What Is Openness in Open Education in an AI World?

As open education promotes access and participative pedagogies, artificial intelligence (AI) innovations present opportunities for engagement and sustainability. In this keynote, Dr. Elizabeth Robertson Hornsby will discuss the ethical integration of AI to expand open education's impact. Guiding this discussion is a conceptualization of openness that works towards creating collaboratively designed systems that shape digitally-enabled education futures. Through this lens, AI holds the potential to enrich rather than replace human ingenuity. Dr. Hornsby's presentation will outline this symbiotic vision between emerging AI ideas and open education advancement and set an aspirational yet practical tone for responsible innovation.
