Perry: How can AI be used ethically when it’s been linked to suicide?
"It’s not on us, on you and me, to use AI ethically or responsibly. It’s on the companies to build safe, reliable, ethical products," David M. Perry writes.

When @dhudgins.bsky.social and I created this “Credibility Pyramid” 4 yrs ago, we were taken to task by educators who couldn’t let go of “source” as the sacred cow of #infolit. Now, I see many of those same ppl lamenting that they can no longer teach kids that .gov websites are trustworthy.

Illustration titled “The Digital Detective’s Credibility Pyramid.” Three tiers show: top, Information; middle, Source; bottom, Platform. Text explains that credibility should be judged by the information itself, not by who shared it or where it appeared.

A group of students in Georgia has started a petition to bring transparency to a Battle of the Books competition that seems to have de-selected some titles in a book-ban-like way.

AI-generated 'workslop' is here. It's killing teamwork and causing a multimillion dollar productivity problem, researchers say
Some 40% of people say they've received workslop in the last month.

On only my second year of opening two libraries, I have such a tremendous respect for those folks serving multiple sites. I will do my best and let the needs in front of me dictate my time and energy, but I wish it could be different. Our students deserve better. 😔

Processing new titles makes me so happy when I get to save them for specific students. Watching their faces light up with joy when I hand them a requested title NEVER gets old!

Huh. Go figure.

The folks trumpeting how much AI is going to save companies were - gasp! - wrong!

But they're probably right that we need to push it into schools. Yeah, that should be fine.

So proud of our district to bring in Angeline Boulley to talk writing and celebrating Indigenous experiences for our opening PD. We have received a state grant which includes over 30,000 books written by Native authors for libraries and classrooms.

THIS. This is why AI in schools is a MAJOR problem!
